i used work for a company producing a cookie like the chewy chips ahoy.......they make them chewy on the inside but crispy on the outside by using different sugar types in the two doughs. high-fructose corn syrup (karo syrup) is used in the inner dough and sucrose (table sugar) is used in the outer dough. when the cookies are baked, the sucrose crystalizes making the crunchy outer shell, while the corn syrup does not crystalize making a chewy inner.

That's interesting. So, what, they wrap the outside dough around the inside dough? Or just plop a pancake of outer on top of a inner dough ball? What's the secret, I might try this at home for giggles on the next snow day.
remember the play-do funfactory where you put the play-do in and push down the handle and a dough rope would extrude out?.....well do that but in giant size....... and put in the giant funfactory an insert that allows you to pump out a rope of the outer dough with a hollow center and at the same time pump out a rope of inner dough inside the hollow portion of the outer.....i hope that makes sense. then the ropes are cut into inch long segments on a giant moving conveyor and then run into a continuous oven to bake. i used to stand at the end of the oven and sample the hot cookies off the conveyor as they came out of the oven......they were awesome <burp>
Ha! I know we have one of those Play-do toys in the basement somewhere. Maybe I'll make me some funky, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, rope sugar cookies. I think the chips might be a problem!

the trick is to put the chips in the inner dough.....it is a thicker rope and can hold the chips. if i was doing this at home, i'd do it like a big pig-in-a-blanket.....where i'd make the two doughs separately and then roll out the outer dough like a pancake-blanket and then make a rope of the inner dough......i'd then roll the rope up in the outer dough blanket. then cut the rope into 2" sections, making sure to close the outer dough over the 2 ends of each section.
Good idea! That would also take care of getting chocolate all over your fingers, face, clothes, couch etc., when eating them warm right out of the oven!
