Serves 1
Directions
- 1Use 1/3 granulated sugar and 2/3 light brown sugar for crispy edges and a chewy center, ensuring cookies stay softer longer.
- 2If your recipe calls for two eggs, omit one egg white and use one whole egg plus one yolk for more structure and chew.
- 3For recipes with about 280 grams of all-purpose flour, add 30 grams of cornstarch to the dry ingredients for added structure, softness, and a thick, fresh texture.
- 4Mix cornstarch with your dry ingredients.
- 5Use European-style butter with higher fat content and less water for better color, flavor, caramelization, and a fresher cookie. Ensure the butter is soft, not melted, to avoid a crispier texture.

Tips
- For crispy edges and a chewy center, use 1/3 granulated sugar and 2/3 light brown sugar. More light brown sugar keeps cookies softer longer.
- If your recipe calls for two eggs, use one whole egg plus one extra egg yolk instead of two whole eggs. The yolk adds structure and chew, while egg whites can lead to a crispier, flatter cookie.
- To your dry ingredients (e.g., 280 grams of all-purpose flour), add 30 grams of cornstarch. This adds structure, softness, and a pillowy texture, keeping cookies thick and fresher longer.
- Use European-style butter with higher fat content and less water for better coloring, flavoring, caramelization, and a fresher cookie for longer.
- Ensure butter is soft, not melted, as melted butter results in a crispier, crunchier cookie.
