What Makes Cookies Soft Or Crispy?
The texture of cookies depends on the ingredients and the baking process. Soft cookies typically have higher moisture content and less sugar, while crispy cookies have less moisture and more sugar. The type of fat used can also impact the texture – butter or shortening tend to make cookies crisp, while using oil can make them softer. Over-baking can also result in crispy cookies, while under-baking can result in soft and chewy cookies.
