I've found zillions of chewy cookies that taste great but they're always cakey, I want a gooey chewy cookie

I've tried pudding mix, cornstarch, cream cheese, everything

Help!

I reduce the amount of flour by about 1/4 cup or so when I want them less cakey.

Sounds like you want a slightly underbaked morsel of goodness. And use part hi-gluten flour.

On just any cookie recipe?

I have underbaked them in the past, and I've never heard of the hi-gluten flour gotta try that

I don't know what kind of cookies you want but the Redpath chocolate chip cookie recipe is the one I use all the time. They are delicious and chewy and I always get rave reviews.

On the ones that I have tried that seem to puff up instead of spreading. I always test one cookie and see how it turns out then I adjust the ingredients in the recipe. The only cakey cookies I like are Madeleines :lol:

AI use bread flour. Switch out the regular flour, ounce for ounce.

I'm confused. If you're able to test one cookie, then the dough is already mixed. How do you then adjust the ingredients after this testing?

Hi-gluten flour is the same as bread flour, which IAmPamCakes suggested.

By adding a little more dark brown sugar into the mixture. Don't mean to confuse anyone, when you say chewy gooey cookies,  I atomatically think of chocolate chip cookies. Did you say chocolate chip beach and sweets? No?   My bad.
