My sister told me my chocolate chip cookies were too dry and I got offended at first

She said they crumbled like sand instead of being chewy. I switched from butter to half butter half shortening and dropped the bake time by 3 minutes. Now they stay soft for days instead of turning into rocks by morning. Anyone else have a family member whose baking feedback actually helped?

Keeps happening in life where the smallest tweaks from people who know us best turn out to be the real game changers.

Totally. The tiny nudges hit hardest.
