I would happily eat each and every one of these experiments, for science
How do I make it so that when they come straight from the freezer, they don’t shatter but can be gnawed on?
More brown sugar to white sugar ratio i think, molasses helps with the chewyness of the cookie. I use 165g of brown sugar with 150g of white sugar and it still comes out chewy after the dough being frozen.
I just skip the brown sugar entirely. I use all white sugar but with a tablespoon or so of molasses.
Brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses mixed in. Seems redundant to keep a separate ingredient around when molasses does the trick!
Yep! I only have jaggery and i don’t know how to measure those or molasses so i keep brown sugar for that case and jaggery for malaysian dessert
Control probably just refrigerated for one hour or so. Not sure how much difference it makes as i always chill it but i think i heard some people said the texture is different between non-refrigerated and refrigerated, and imo i can tell the difference between overnight and refrigerated for a few days, the latter is much more chewier.
Does baking powder mean lots of it or none of it?
I’m a fan of whichever one of these makes the cookies crispy on the bottom.
