1 Brown sugar will make the cookie soft and chewy. It has the caramel flavor. But too much of it will make the cookie texture like a cake
2 Granulated sugar will harden the cookies and provide the sweetness. But too much of it will make the cookies too hard
3 Eggs have protein, which will improve the chewiness. If you add extra egg yolks, the cookie will become a cake texture.
4 The butter is cooked to reduce the moisture and provide the nut flavor. It helps making a chewy cookies
5 If butter is whipped instead. The cookies will turn into cake texture
