While it is said that all white sugar makes for crispier cookies, in this recipe the proper creaming and chilling technique make way for the cookies to spread just enough to make for a chewier texture, soft centred cookies with slightly crispy edges. So it has a combination of being both crispy and soft at the same time. The caramel undertone is slightly missing but it still makes for an easy recipe that you will absolutely love and keep coming back to.
