Why do some cookies turn out crisp while others are soft or chewy?

Baking & Technique class-q-and-abaking-fundamentals

What makes one cookie crisp and another soft or chewy? How do the recipe, cookie thickness, butter temperature and mixing method fit together, and can changing from creaming to rubbing cold butter into flour alter the result without adjusting the rest of the formula?

The course distinguishes two approaches: thinner cookies made by sanding cold butter into flour for a crisp result, and thicker cookies made by creaming room-temperature butter for a softer or chewier result.

The complete formula matters too. Changing the mixing method alone does not guarantee a different texture with otherwise identical quantities. Start with the recipe designed for the texture you want.
