How to Make Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Some people love crunchy chocolate chip cookies. I've found that most don't. Crunch isn't always the right place for chocolate chip cookies. Would you rather have soft chocolate chip cookies? Here we will give you some tips to learn how to make soft chocolate chip cookies.

Once you have your dough made, most of what you do to keep from making crunchy, crisp cookies depends on what you do after. Make a dough or buy a tube of chocolate chip cookie dough.

Make sure the dough has been refrigerated for at least 2 hours or more preferably overnight. The dough must be cold if you want to avoid crispy or cakey cookies.

Preheat the oven to the required heat and make sure it is preheated before you put the cookies in. When the oven is preheated or almost there, you can start to put two inch balls of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Do this quickly and try not to roll them between your hands too much or they will soften.

Make sure the pan is not warm or hot. If you are using the pan for a second batch, make sure it first cools completely. Put it in the fridge to make it cold, this is even better.

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minute or until lightly golden brown across the whole cookie. You don't want it to be dark, but you want it to cook all the way.

By not overcooking it, it will stay soft and chewy. By putting the balls of dough in the oven very cold, they will not melt around the outside but will spread out evenly in the oven.
