  • Method for controlling the spread of soft cookies
    Patent number: 4873098
    Abstract: Oven spread is controlled in the production of soft cookies which comprise unbleached flour by using a cold water swelling granular starch material having a cold water solubility of least 50%. The doughs of the present invention may be used in the production of single dough soft cookies or in the production of multi-textured cookies having extended shelf lives. The granular starch material reduces cookie spread and unexpectedly provides a shelf-stable, more moist and tender texture in cookies which contain high humectant levels without loss of machinability of the dough.
