If the cookies are too soft try more flour to help thicken them up and if they are too dense I would use Jennifer's suggestion on sifting flour. Even using less flour would probably work.

This seems to help me alot of times when my cake or cookie seems too dense. I sometimes sift my flour 3 times before I mix in other ingredients.

I am trying to master making any kind of cookie with sucanat and kamut flour and the cookies turn out fluffy, cakie type. For example snickerdoodles when they are make with white flour they turn out euuuyyy goouuuuyyy but then using the wheat flour I cannot get it to turn out that way. I am about to give up on the cookies and just use white so I hope that you can help me figure this out as it looks like in your pictures of the cookies above they are euuuyyy gouuuyyy. Does it have to do with the chilling part? Thank you for your time!! I need some help!!

WHY don't mine look like yours???? First batch cooked like little half balls, only flattened alittle bit... SOOO then I flattened them like a sugar cookie and they just kept that shape... They are very good, but just don't look like a crinkle cookie like yours... I made it just like you said... of course I don't have a flour mill yet, but used White Whole Wheat from King Arthur... UGH! HELP! What can I do next time???? UGH, I have been meaning to stop back and ask you… WHY don’t mine look like yours????

Those look great and I'd like to try a cookie with WW flour and rapadura (which I do happen to have!). I have to echo the others in that this does remind me of a molasses cookie and I make a molasses crinkle that looks very similar. My favorite Christmas cookie is just a plain, old shortbread. It has all bad stuff in it -- white sugar, white flour -- but we do love it and I only make it around the holidays. Mmmm..mmmmm!!!
