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!

I freeze all my cookie dough and just grab a few balls to cook at a time. Doesn’t matter if it’s choc chips, sugar, whatever and it always bakes great.

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.

Probably that the control got some refrigeration. A lot of chocolate chip recipes call for an hour or so of chill time. It lets the flour get hydrated, firms up the fats, and that ends up controlling spread as well as giving improved texture

Does baking powder mean lots of it or none of it?

Usually the recipe call for baking soda, i assume for this one they replace baking soda with baking powder?

my head canon: 100% baking powder with an image projected on it to look like a cookie

I’m a fan of whichever one of these makes the cookies crispy on the bottom.
