The answer depends on what you're trying to "help," Maria. Lowering the oven temperature and baking the cookies for longer can help produce a crunchy cookie (bake for even longer and you'll get crisp cookies). If you only lower the oven temperature and bake for a shorter amount of time, the cookies will be soft and chewy, which might be what you're looking for. If you're interested in more details, check out this article about Cookie Chemistry on our blog. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
