About half a cup is enough to add texture without drying out the dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Change The Syrup:<\/strong> Golden syrup can be replaced with honey, maple syrup, rice malt syrup, or agave. Each keeps these easy chocolate chip cookies soft and tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use A Sweetener:<\/strong> You can use a granulated sweetener that measures 1:1 with sugar in place of white sugar.

Stir just until combined to keep your chewy chocolate chip cookies soft instead of dense.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add extra flour only if the dough feels too sticky to handle. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky, not dry or crumbly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press extra chocolate chips onto the tops before baking for bakery style easy chocolate chip cookies with visible pools of chocolate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slightly underbake and let them finish cooking on the tray. This keeps the centres soft and gives you perfectly chewy results from this chocolate chip cookies recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let them cool completely on the tray. Moving them too soon can cause them to break before they have fully set.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-recipe-faq-s\">Recipe FAQ&#8217;s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1733457286629\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why Are My Chocolate Chip Cookies Flat?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your Chocolate Chip Cookies spread too much, your butter may have been too hot or you may not have added enough flour.
