How Do You Make Cookies Softer?
To make cookies softer, you can try adding an extra egg yolk or a tablespoon of milk to the dough to add moisture. Chill the dough for at least an hour before baking to help the cookies retain their shape and keep them from spreading too much. Additionally, slightly under-bake the cookies and then let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help the cookies retain some of the heat and moisture, making them softer.
