Bake it slowly but not too long. You have to adjust / experiment on this depending on your oven and the cookie itself.

The #1 suggestion I can give you is to work slow and scrape down the sides of your bowl often while mixing. I use the Mrs.Field's cookie books for my cookies and they always turn out picture and taste perfect.
#2 anytime a recipe calls for oil use applesause. It does not give your food an apple flavor- but it's healthier and adds moister.
#3 DO NOT UNDER BAKE YOUR COOKIES!!! Taking them out a few minutes early= under cooked cookies- point blank!
#4 When storing your cookies- put a piece of bread in your storage container. IT will draw the moisture out of the bread and soften up your cookies.
Happy Baking!

First of all, get an oven thermometer, and test to see that your oven is cooking at the proper temperature. Make adjustments if necessary. (I'm not talking about doing any major repairs, just turn the heat up or down, to get it to the temp. required for the recipe.) Next. cover your cookie sheets with parchment paper (available at most stores near the foil and plastic wrap). This keeps the cookies from sticking to the pan, and also helps prevent burning. Good luck!

Add a LITTLE extra milk, and bake it so that the outer edges are golden but the cookie itself is not done through. If they are leftover, put the cookie in the toaster for a few minutes or in the microwave for a few seconds.

Convection ovens are the best for baking. Also, cookies continue to cook even when you take them out of the oven, so never leave them in the oven past the recommended time even if they look completely uncooked!

Use parchment paper! Because cookies keep cooking on the metal pan after you take them out of the oven, I use parchment paper. As soon as they're out, I slide the parchment paper (with cookies on it) off onto wire racks (or my countertop). That way, I can remove them from the heat source before they're "set"...then, in a few minutes, they just slide off the parchment paper to finish cooling.
It gives you the perfect cookie every time!

About 2 minutes shy of what they're supposed to cook. Keep an eye on them periodically to see what they look like.
I like my cookies burnt on the bottom and chewy on the top....of course you're not baking them for me :) Good luck!

Put them in the oven when the oven is hot at 350 degrees. Bake for about fifteen minutes!

I sometimes use a little extra butter and don't leave them baking the full time; bet they'll be wonderful.

Well, you can add a tblsp of milk to your recipe..or use two egg yokes to every one whole egg and they will be moist.
