Well I think hard cookies are baked for longer. When I bake cookies, I always undercook them slightly so they're nice and soft.

I don't know about store-bought cookies, but there is a chocolate chip cookie recipe floating around the board that has you put pudding in the dough and
that makes them softer.

Yes, I put in dry vanilla pudding mix into the dough while I'm combining all the ingredients. It really does keep them soft and delicious.

no but for reals, its the moisture level in cookies that determines if theyre hard or soft. IF you cook cookies at a lower temperature and remove them from
heat before they fully cook, then they turn out softer.

Nothing... they're just cooked for a shorter time.

There are a number of factors:

I always added slightly different ingredients when cooking mine-I actually don't remember the exact portions, but more oil and less eggs or something like
that. It depends on your recipe.

Cookies with pudding mix in them are always soft.

interesting. yeah i guess i was just talking about cookies in general. like if you went to mrs. fields and get the sugar cookie they'd be soft but if you
get the chocolate/walnut ones they'd be hard.
or even chips ahoy. the soft and chewy vs. the regular! i bought some cranberry orange ones from the store yesterday and they are soft kinda like muffin/bread texture. |
