What are cookies?

Cookie, particularly in the United States, is any of numerous small sweet cakes, either flat or slightly elevated, cut from rolled dough, dropped from a spoon, or curled with a special iron. The phrase cookie in Scotland refers to a little, simple bun.

Cookie with black and white stripes

Cookie recipes are pretty variable. The most general cookies in the United States are likely those made with a simple dough consisting of flour, butter, sugar, and egg, to which a variety of flavoring and texturizing additions, such as chocolate chips, oatmeal, raisins, or peanut butter, may be added.

The competition for the limited water content between the slowly dissolving sugar and the flour’s gluten has a notable effect on cookie texture, influencing spread and expansion during baking. This effect is partially driven by the slow dissolution of sugar and the flour gluten.

Except for soft varieties, the moisture content in baked cookies is typically below 5%, resulting in a crisp texture and excellent storage stability.
