As it turns out, there is a huge debate about this. Did you know? Well, of course you know. Right? I'm sure you have your favorite.

 

Is it possible that it depends on the type of cookie? Maybe that's it. Chocolate chip = soft. Shortbread = crispy. Hmmm.... maybe I'm on to something.

I see that you've begun drooling on your keyboard. Maybe you can grab some tissue before reading the rest of the post.

 

I had previously made some chocolate cookies for Halloween. I purposely used the large cookie scoop and the good baking pan so that the cookies were soft.

 

This time, I used the small cookie scoop (and the good baking pan, of course). I let the cookies bake until they were thin and crispy, making them perfect for sandwich cookies.

 

Now, the secret! Once you add the peanut butter filling and let the cookies sit overnight, they end up being the perfect softness. 

 

It's a beautiful thing. Try the recipe for these Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies.

If you're craving something VERY soft and chewy, though, try my Dulce De Leche Brownies. So rich and wonderful. You'll love them!
