Cookies with chocolate: the edge and the medium may be different

Useful to know

King Arthur’s Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies aims for crisp edges and a chewier centre. Chocolate pieces are added to butter-based dough, then portions are spaced on the tray. [1]

Do not wait for every part to become equally firm when that is not the recipe’s aim. Cookies spread during baking, so spacing matters. Portion size affects how the centre cooks. For much larger cookies, use adapted directions rather than combining several portions while keeping the same baking time.
