Abstract

Soft cookies, biscuits, snacks and the like, are produced from a specially formulated and prepared dough and then baked to produce said soft edible products which retain their fresh-baked, moist, tender texture for extended periods of time. A firm gel, formed from a viscous liquid, e.g., a corn syrup, a gum, e.g., an alginate gum, a humectant and dispersing agent for the gum, e.g., glycerine, a calcium source for gelling the gum, and humectant and dispersing agent for the gum, e.g., propylene glycol, is incorporated into the cookie or other dough prior to baking.
