Really nice chewy & soft HM cookies

Twinks Hobnobs - do a search on this board for it. Slightly undercook them and leave them for a while & they will be drool-ishish!

Thanks!! That's exactly the link I was looking for & couldn't find. Made these cookies and they are everything other posters have said they are.

apparently the key to getting a chewy cookie rather than a crispy one is to get the tray out half way through cooking , cover with a tea towel and bang on the work surface, then put back in the oven to finish cooking.
Not tried it myself but i think i will have a go next time

They look nice Jammy I am having a bake up session now for next week whilst the kids will be off. I am doing some twinks so will bang some of these in as well. Will use up some of the leftover dried fruit from crimbo cranberries and such.

i think the key to a chewy cookie is golden caster sugar. every recipe i have done that uses is comes out nice and chewy.

I have an unbelievably good cookie recipe, based on research from all sorts of specialist NY bakeries. I now make all my basic cookies this way. Two main tips:

1. Add a lot more of the chocolate chips/nuts etc. than you think - seems a ridiculous amount when you make the mixture, but when they spread out they're fine.

2. For the proper soft/chewy/slightly crisp to the edges feel - that doesn't harden when cold, or go floppy, make the cookies into a sausage, roll up in tinfoil and leave in the fridge for a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 36. Apparently the delay makes the outside of the cookie very slightly dryer so you get the perfect crisp/chewy combination. Anyway, here's the link from instructables. I now make loads at once and refrigerate for 24 hrs then keep the rolls in the freezer. I won't ever make an american-style cookie any other way.

There's a girl on the net with a blog called Lauren Smiths Millies cookies recipe, they are so easy to make and taste amazing my dd loves to bake them for her friends. Hope this helps.

Mmm they were lovely jammy the dried fruit went all chewy and sweet mmmm. They are more of a biscuit and more chewy than the twinks so great combo.
