Hey Claire, for your next Claire-ified, can you explain what would make a chewy cookie versus a crumbly cookie? Sometimes when I bake cookies, they are chewy and fresh feeling the next day. Other batches are dry and clearly need milk or moisture. What do I need to look for in recipes to know that?

@princessjesstarca 2 жыл бұрын

Or why sometimes they come out perfect and sometimes lacy.

@tess6536 2 жыл бұрын

There can be several reasons, I can't remember them all now but if you are using the same recipe that's turning out different one difference can be in the mixing. Less mixing, less glutendevelopement makes a 'shorter'/more crumbly cookie.

@Katheverett 2 жыл бұрын

I find using dark brown sugar makes a cookie more chewy. I also add a teaspoon of molasses to recipes that call for light brown sugar. I love a chewy cookie!

All the thumbprints I've made in the past are baked with the jam already added to the depression, making the jam chewy and "fruitsnack-esque", I've never seen it done this way before. Curious to try it!

@kjdude8765 2 жыл бұрын

You just need to verify that the dough will hold its shape without the jam. Some cookies will spread out too much and you will lose the the thumbprint while baking.

I am very glad I Claire made this video showing variations on this recipe from the book,. When I first saw it in my book, it seemed like a lot of work. Especially making my own jelly, with a grape I quite very well might not ever be able to find where I live. Yeah, I know there is a footnote to use store bought.. But seeing her do it herself seemed to validate that is OK.. Also, doing them as "tumbprint cookies is really what sold it to me Thanks, Claire. I'm gonna make these now in the "medium" difficulty way with store bought jam.

I add a tablespoon of molasses to my peanut butter cookie recipe. I also save myself some trouble by just scooping the dough onto the cookie sheet, and then using my potatoe masher to press. just put the masher onto the dough lightly to oil it up, repeat when necessary. but just dip the masher into sugar, then press the cookie. works great.
