So, I have a funfetti cookie recipe that I use often: here. I've modified it to be Neapolitan flavored. I split the dough into 3 parts, mix in the extras, and then roll them into balls. The last couple of times I've made them, the middles sink in after the cookies have cooled. All of my ingredients are within their dates. I cook them in a convection oven at 335 degrees for about 20 minutes (they're large 4 oz cookies).
Any ideas on why they're collapsing? I've included a picture of the inside. The cookies are slightly underbaked. Should I cook them longer? Is it something with the recipe? This doesn't really happen with other cookies I make, at least not to this degree.

Baking longer will probably fix it.
Sorry, was too distracted by how delicious this looks..what was the question again?👀😆
Looks so pretty.
Recipe? These look delicious and would be perfect for the baby shower I’m throwing
Looks like a normal cookie to me. If it stayed perfectly mounded, it would signal a very cakey cookie.
I have no idea but those are so cute!
Possibly too much air being introduced during the creaming step? They look fantastic, though-going to try this recipe for sure!
This is one of my favorite subs. I wish you all just sold it and I would just buy it
Underbaked. Adding a little time will firm up the dough so it will have the strength to hold up when cooled. Sometimes when ingredients are added to one part, the change in chemistry (like % of liquid) is enough to make it hard to fully cook the moister sections without over baking the drier ones. If that is the case, you have to find whatever baking level works best for your tastes.
I’m not a professional baker, but maybe try bread flour (or a mix of bread/ap) instead of ap? Also cool slowly in the oven by opening the oven door after 20 min but leaving them in the oven for a bit longer
Is the strawberry dough wetter than the other two doughs?
The pink portion obviously has twice as much……BANNED!
Send them over, and I will assess !😁
Because they are perfect
Looks yummy
Please I want this so bad
Are you opening the oven door during baking? That typically will cause a collapse of baked goods.
Choco-chip is fully risen and baked while pink looks a little too “wet” perhaps? The difference in texture can cause caving. Best solution is to have uniform cooking in each slab.
Baking for longer could dry pink out, but this might risk a brittle/burnt texture in the overcooked parts.
I’d recommend making the pink batter drier with more flour, or less egg/butter/oil/apple sauce/etc.
Good luck and please send pics!
Alternatively, put choco in the middle since it’s a little overcooked and put pink on side since it’s a little wet still.
If you get the same caving, the problem might be too high heat cooking the sides before the middle. So lower heat with longer baking time.
If all else fails, try slightly less baking soda in choco and sugar cookie so they don’t rise as much and crack.
I don’t know… you’ll have to send me the whole batch for a thorough inspection… maybe a couple extra, just to be safe. What’s the recipe?
I’d suggest trying a freeze dried strawberry powder for flavour instead of using an extract. Should solve the problem of your dough being too wet. You can buy whole freeze dried strawberries and crush them down yourself or you can buy a powder. Then you can add less food colouring as well because the strawberries should add a soft natural pink colour.
I buy mine lately from a Dollarama snack section and crush them down to powder by hand. It’s worked in all sorts of stuff I’ve tried, like mini cheesecakes and cookies alike.
Hmmmm please send me a sample to inspect so I can get to the bottom of it.😋😋
It’s just making a center spot for a scoop of ice cream to go there 👀
I take my cookies mid baking out of the oven and smack them against my stove top, then back to baking. I love the outcome of them with that trick.
I wonder if making them smaller would help? 🤔
Regardless, they look INCREDIBLE!
WELL DONE!
No idea but I really wanna try your cookie
Neapolitan cookies!! 😍😍 yeah those look weird, you should send them to me for testing 😋
I need to taste test them to provide you accurate data. So far hunger is up 📈 and caring about imperfections is 📉
