What Makes Cookies Chewy Or Crispy?
The chewiness or crispiness of cookies is affected by the ingredients and baking process. Chewy cookies typically have higher moisture content due to using more brown sugar and less butter, and they are baked for a shorter period at a lower temperature. On the other hand, crispy cookies have lower moisture content and are baked for a longer period at a higher temperature. The type of flour used and the addition of leavening agents also contribute to the texture of cookies.
