Getting a Super Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie:The key to a chewy, soft cookie is removing them from the oven before they have had a chance to fully bake. This varies from oven to oven, but you want them to be golden around the edges but still a little gooey and puffy in the center. Remove from oven and let them sit in the pan for a few minutes. They will continue to cook on the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack to finish the cooling process. This may take some practice to know just when to take them out of the oven, but you’ll quickly learn that crucial timing.
