What to do when cookies turn into cakes?

[Deleted User] · 22/03/13 - 01:39

A bit of an exaggeration, but I've tried to make cookies using a recipe I found online (which had good comments under it) and they turned out cakey and cooled to be quite hard.

I assume I am doing something wrong while making them, but what?

Any advice? And anyone have a recipe which they've tried?

I want to make chewy cookies.

It sounds like you baked them for too long.... if you want chewy cookies then knock 5 mins off the baking time.

I made these this week, had no chocolate chips so just chopped up a bar of dairy milk. They were really nice, and chewy.

This is a Heston recipe, if you want to faf on it works well too.
