Well now read this tho:

Gosh it seems there are a 100 ideas for softer cookies!
I have tho heared this one bout the applesauce, infact I've heared use applesauce and brown sugar for softer cookies.
I really wouldn't know tho because yes I really am the only mother on Earth that does not know how nor has tried to make CC cookies yet.
But when I do get the ready made dough from the store, like the Phillsbury dough........yuck I hate em and rarely eat the cookies.....but I do do that trick of taking them outta the oven when the mere edges are firming but the center is gooey and then let them quick cool in a cool area, like near a window.
This really does leave them soft! And thats the only way my dc'll eat them otherwise they just beg for the dough alone.
Every holiday season I tell dh NOT to buy that ready made dough, heck just buy already made cookies then!
But he always does.
I hate that stuff...it just oozes with preservatives n all, kwim? lol
Anyways thanx for the tips, I'm gonna make a buncha cookies here soon!
