CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE
2 c flour
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c granulated sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c butter or shortening
1 1/4 c milk
3 eggs
1/2 c chocolate chips
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 c chopped walnuts or pecans
Mix all together - will be a little thin. Pour into a greased 9x13" sheetcake pan and bake in preheated 350º oven for 40-45 minutes.
To frost with glaze: Melt 1/2 c chocolate pieces, 2 T butter and 1 T light corn syrup. Cool slightly and pour over cake.

Add more eggs. Eggs add leavening and bind the product as it rises. Adding more flour as some suggest will simply weigh down the product thereby making it denser. For every two eggs the recipe calls for just add another one. Also, beat the eggs a little before adding them. Just a little, though.
And if you want them soft and chewy like those store bought cookies which are labeled "soft and chewy", then just substitute corn syrup for a little of the cane sugar. That is the big secret behind that.

Use the same recipe, but get them out of the oven as soon as they rise and turn a golden color (you should be able to smell them throughout the kitchen). Immediately take them off the cookie sheet and place them on a cool surface so that they stop cooking. Also, having a stove that has a glass front works better....so that you don't have to open the oven to check on the cookies, therefore eliminating them from deflating. Good luck!

Adding a few tablespoons of applesauce in place of a few of the tablespoons of butter can often make cookies more cake-like.

If you are only trying to make them soft and chewy rather than crispy or crunchy, just cook them less (they will still be really soft when you take them out) and take them off the pan as soon as they are firm enough. Then put them in a ziploc bag or tupperware type container as soon as they are cool.
