I came here to find out this! Mine was not soft and shiny. It is more like dough. Wonder why.

I made them today. Chilled the dough for one hour. I added chopped pecans and a handful of dried cranberries. They turned out delicious. I followed all the directions to a “T” and did not change anything else. Now I have two big covered glass containers with lids filled to the top. Yum. I used semi sweet dark chocolate chips.

In reply to Alexis. Hi Alexis, sorry these didn't turn out for you. The most common reason dough feels dry is too much flour, especially if it’s scooped directly from the bag instead of spooned and leveled (or, even better, weighed). Just a few extra tablespoons of flour can throw off the balance and make the dough crumbly. The dough should be soft, slick, and slightly thick before chilling.

The taste is great, but these turned out super cakey for me :/ after mixing the butter wet ingredients it says the mixture should be thin, but mine was definitely not thin.

I accidentally put 2 1/2 cups of flour in.
I baked them anyway and they were still delicious. Probably not as soft as of if I had put the correct amount is flour in. Next time….

These are awesome!! I’ve been looking for a super soft chocolate chip cookie and this is perfect. I did put a combination of semi sweet and dark chocolate chips and that combo was delicious!
Thank you!!

In reply to Lexi @ Sally's Baking. My dough came out crumbly too. I measured by weight with everything. I have made this twice and it’s happened both times. I have no idea what is different. I have not had any success with cookies from this site. Everything else, perfection. No clue.
