]]> There are lots of ways to tweak your cookie recipe to your taste—make it crunchier, softer, cakier, or the best: chewier. If you’re someone who loves your cookies especially chewy, then you might be looking for ways to make your recipe serve that purpose. Luckily, there’s plenty of ways to control for texture to your own liking. Here’s how to make your cookies extra chewy.

Incorporate More Moisture

One thing that has a big effect on your dough’s chewiness is its moisture content. More moisture will make your cookies chewier … to a point. You don’t want to add too much wetness or your cookies will run and spread, making them crunchy instead of chewy.

There are a few ways to add moisture. First, you can swap out some of the white sugar for brown sugar, which has molasses, or even add a teaspoon to a tablespoon or molasses or syrup if you need the white sugar. You can try using two yolks instead of a full egg, as the fatty yolks won’t dry out as fast as egg whites. Finally, you can try replacing some or all of the butter with shortening: butter has water that can evaporate in the oven, while shortenings full-fat makeup will retain its moisture better.

Technique

One thing many professional bakers do is let their dough set in the fridge for an hour or so. This will also help promote chewiness. Finally, try experimenting with varied baking times and temperatures. Depending on your recipe, you may find there is a profound effect on your cookie’s texture.

Nutella Linzer Cookies

Tanzi is a huge fan of Linzer cookies, and she decided to put a twist on the original recipe by adding some Nutella to the mix.

Chocolate Tahini Cookies

If you’ve mastered all the previous recipes and you’re looking for a bigger challenge, try making these tahini cookies with black and white sesame seeds.

Just a bit of jam in the center is the thing you miss having with your tea—and this cookie has it.

Tea and adorable coconut snack biscuits are the best way to start a day.

Butter Cookies

Light and buttery cookies are just what your tea needs. Add a little drop of lemon, and make it even yummier.

Being middle eastern, I love tea after every meal and of course something sweet to go with it! Naturally I made these Persian Tea Cookies with rose water icing sprinkled with dried rose petals. It’s hard not to devour them in one sitting. So buttery, fragrant and beautiful😋#recipesbyyas PERSIAN TEA COOKIES INGREDIENTS: COOKIES: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup almond flour ¼ tsp salt ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened/room temp 1 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 tsp pure vanilla extract ICING: 1 cup powdered sugar 2 tsp rose water 2 tsp water 2 tbsp dried rose petals, garnish DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350F. Combine both almond and all-purpose flour along with salt and whisk together. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy and plate yellow in color (approx. 4 mins). Then combine the egg and vanilla extract and on slow speed slowly pour in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Do not over mix. Place the dough on a well-floured surface and create a disk shape and cover all sides with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. After 15 minutes, roll out the dough on a well floured surface about ¼ inch in thickness. With a round 1inch cookie cutter, cut out as many rounds as possible and place them on a baking sheet. Place into the oven for only 10 minutes and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, rose water and water until it gets the right consistency – runny but thick enough to coat the cookie. Once the cookies have cooled, dip ½ of the cookie in the icing and scrape off any excess with your finger and place on a cooling rack and sprinkle with dried rose pedals and repeat until you get all the cookies iced. Let the icing set then enjoy with your favorite mint or earl grey tea. #foodie #easyrecipes #persiantea #teacookies #summer #foodporn #yummy #foodphotography #instagood #photooftheday #quarantinelife #quarantinerecipes #f52community #recipeoftheday #FoodBlogger #FoodBlog #Foodstagram #InstaBlogger #InstagramBlog #Finstagram #FoodIsLife #EatForTheGram #FoodStyling

]]> Award-winning recipe creator Melissa Stadler was born to cook, literally speaking. As a toddler, she recalls standing on the tallest step stool, begging her Mom to let her help out in the kitchen.

“I watched my Mom and Grandma spend their days baking for their families, and it was then I discovered that making food is a wholehearted expression of love,” she writes on her website.

With an inherent passion for food and cooking, Stadler launched Modern Honey in 2015 as an outlet for her creativity in the kitchen. On her viral platform, she shares tried and true recipes from decadent desserts (Stadler herself is a two-time Pillsbury Bake-Off finalist), quick and easy dinners, and healthy recipes.

With an emphasis on baking, Stadler is a self-proclaimed cookie junkie. “There’s probably a support group somewhere for people like me,” she jokes on her website, recalling how when she was a teenager, she would go to the library and thumb through cookbooks to find every single chocolate chip cookie recipe and would beg her Mom to try out the recipe creations almost daily. “Issues, I tell you,” she writes.

One of her most celebrated recipes in the Famous Levain Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. “These aren’t some ordinary bite-size cookies,” writes Stadler. “No, these are a full-on meal. Well maybe for some people. Here’s the deal—you make them big. Really big. Like only four can fit on a cookie sheet, BIG. These are the BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES EVER. Yep, I said it.”
