sugar cookie hell
Ive been trying to make my own sugar cookie recipe for a little over a year now and so far i personally like the taste. but getting it to that chewy texture has been so difficult. i tried less flour so it wouldnt be so puffy but then it came out just limp and puffy. I also tried no baking soda but it still came out puffy. Please help im starting to give up. Should i freeze it? should i use baking soda and not baking powder? when i get home, i'll post my recipe so u guys can see it cause i dont have it on my phone.

I would also look into America's Test Kitchen for making cookies. If anyone has dissected perfect cookies, it would be these guys.
Also, Stella Parks has a new book about American desserts with lots of details about ingredients and how they work in baking. Her blog, bravetart.com, is also a trove of great information and technique.
And I would also recommend going to King Arthur Flour blog to see what they have for perfect sugar cookies.
