Homemade cookies have that divine, rich, buttery taste because they use butter. As a bonus, they come out crispier and thinner in texture too. One pro tip here, though – your butter should be unsalted. Adding salted butter will result in a cookie that tastes too salty.
Chilling your Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie dough mix after you put it together gives it a more homemade taste. You should put the dough together and then refrigerate it for 30 minutes. This will keep your cookies from spreading too much while baking.
Just a little sprinkle of brown sugar gives you softer, chewier cookies. Vanilla extract is just like sprinkling a drop of magic for box mix cookies. Put this liquid addition with your wet ingredients to create moist, flaky, crunchy cookies.
Eggs bind the other ingredients, help the cookie take shape, and add moisture to the final product. The yolk has all the fat and richness that gives your cookie a soft texture. It helps tenderize the dough by shortening gluten strands. This gives your cookie a deeper flavor and chewier texture.
