    Replace half of the butter with shortening, such as Crisco. Bake cookies for 10 minutes then let cool on the cookie sheet. The shortening makes them chewier. Baking them for the minumum time and then letting cool on the cookie sheet means they will finish cooking on the warm cookie sheet once pulled from the oven.

    I baked these in two seperate batches. I baked the first batch for 14 minutes looking for the rich golden brown color - too much time and the cookies were dry. I cooked the next batch for 12 minutes and the cookies were a little more moist but still more on the dry side than I would have liked. Any one else have any thoughts to share on this? How to make more moist?
