How many of you has tasted a cookie that was so perfect; crispy on the outside and perfectly chewy and soft on the inside? A cookie whose recipe you are thrilled to get and try?

By understanding how these ingredients work together, we can figure out what needs to be done to fix it. We can take our tried and true recipes and make them even better!
