Chewie cookies (cook, oven, crumb, Food Network)

[Brian.Pearson]

How do you make cookies that stay chewie? I remember years ago that cookies were always dry and and crumbly. Then they started making cookies so they were chewie. I'd like to know how it is done.

You're welcome. I'm sure that would depend greatly on how they are stored. Been a while since I tried Alton's recipes. What I've learned is to cook them until they're not quite set dead center. Remove them from the oven and let sit short time on hot pan. Check with a spatula soon as firm enough to move remove to cooling rack.
Using a regular Tollhouse recipe I made about 4 dozen a week or so ago. They were still somewhat chewy probably for 3 0r 4 days later. Today they are crunchy.

I'd say three or four days would be long enough. Thank you very much for your help.
