F.A.Q.s
What makes Russian Rock Cookies Hard?
The main reason may be overmixing of dough and overusing flour. As pastry flour is gluten flour, overmixing leads to the formation of excess gluten that makes rock cookies much harder. Excess sugar also results in rock-hard cookies.
Hardness is a feature of rock cookies. However, if you want to soften cookies, you can use extra butter and milk. Or using a softener like softened butter, granulated sugar, etc., also works.
What makes Rock Cookies Stay Thick?
You can follow several steps to make your cookies thick and sticky. Bleached flour works best for making cookies sticky. Besides, using a silicone baking mat instead of baking sheets or parchment paper is a good option if you are facing a problem.
I used a trick before. Chilling out cookie dough really works great. Though all cookies don’t need the process.

Which type of flour is best for baking Rock cookies?
All-purpose or pastry flour is the best choice for baking cookies. Bread flour has excess gluten, while coconut flour is gluten-free. Both of these flours may cause problems after baking cookies. Flours that have a high amount of starch should be avoided.
What Makes Cookies Soft or Crisp?
Three factors mainly contribute to making cookies soft or crispy: Low-protein flour, sugar, and eggs are the main factors that make your desired cookies crispier. Also, butter and granulated sugar make cookies more soft and chewy.
Sugar creates a crispy texture, and eggs moisturize the cookies. Hence, after baking, cookies get softer as well as crispier.
How should I store and preserve Russian rock cookies?
To properly store and preserve Russian cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature. For added freshness, refrigeration is an option. Protect the cookies from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain their texture. When stored correctly, Russian rock cookies can stay fresh for approximately two weeks.
