  1. What Makes A Cookie A Cookie?

    So…what exactly is a cookie? Though cookies derive from cakes, what we know as a good cookie now is really nothing like cakes or cupcakes—they’re denser, chewier, crispier and have an entirely different texture. Cookie recipes widely vary, but most have a few things in common.

    Generally, cookie recipes have abandoned using water completely, which makes the dough thicker and stiffer than that of cakes. Instead, cookies use ingredients like butter and/or shortening in its place, which helps them get that characteristic crispy-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside bite we all love. And almost all cookies are made using a combination of other basic pantry ingredients like flour, sugars and flavor boosts like extracts, nuts or candy.
