Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I have an awesome cookie recipe for Red Velvet Cookie I got from Duncan Hines, I have made them a few times and everyone loves them.  I find they come out very hard after they cool, not to hard you can't eat them but just hard.  I like a tiny bit softer cookie.  I only bake them for 10 minutes at 350.  When they come out the over they are soft, but as soon as they cool they are hard.  Maybe that is the way the are suppose to be. I am not having any complaints so I shouldn't worry, but I still like a softer cookie.... Any tips on what I might need to do.  I use parchment paper on the pan and take them right off the pan.

 

Here is the recipe http://www.duncanhines.com/recipes/cookies-bars/dh/red-and-white-ve...

 

I have done them in different ways... We don't believe in White Chocolate at my house (well at least my mom doesn't) so I used milk chocolate to dip them,  I also made sandwiches with cream cheese icing and dipped those in chocolate... OMG!!! I have even gotten a request for the cookies!

What I have found, when I bake cookies, is to bake them so they are just firm, but soft; and okay to use the spatula to take them off the cookie sheet.  They are still quite soft, but cooked.  When they coo, they are in a good, soft enough eating stage.  You will have to be super careful when you spatula them up and move them to the cooling area.  I have found that if I take the cookies out of the oven at the stage I want them to be in, they cool too hard.
I went to the DH site, and there are some pretty awesome recipes on there! 
Jen you can sign up to get the emails from them with new recipes all the time.  I have so many recipes I rarely use any of them but there are a lot if someone is looking for new ideas.
