FAQ
The secret to making chewy cookies is to not over-bake them. Take the monster cookies out of the oven before you think they are done!
They'll look still slightly soft and undercooked, and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes. Then it's time to move them to a wire rack. This will help them stay soft and chewy.
