Scrumptious just out of the oven, but even better after a day! MMMMmmmmmmmm. Thanks for all your great posts, Joy! Makes my day every time! :) I know this sounds odd, but I love my cookies with a bit of Chinese 5 Spice thrown in + a teeny extra bit of salt.

These cookies turned out AMAZING!!! I did tweak the recipe, though, to make them a little more healthy. I know, it's practically a sin to try to make desserts "healthy," but they still tasted great to me. Instead of bread flour, I used whole wheat flour, and instead of regfular chocolate chips, I crushed up an entire gigantic Hershey's dark chocolate bar. Also, I added some oats for heart health and texture. I personally thought they tasted great. Try it if you're bored one day. :D Hey Joy! These cookies turned out AMAZING!!!

In this case, a cookie is NOT just a cookie. This cookie bridges the gap between my husband and I: he likes crunchy, I like chewy. For the longest time I thought that we would never be able to enjoy a cookie together. But now, thanks to Alton Brown and Joy the Baker, we can set aside our cookie differences and enjoy one...together...crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside...choc chip cookie goodness. Thanks!

Also, I always drop the pan on the top of the over door before placing the cookies to cool (it seems to kill the cakeyness)--I like mine very chewey. One point though I can not stress enough. The actual baking process, in my opinion, is 70% of the game. In a hurry I use store bought dough and get fabulous cookies (I feel guilty pawning them off since guests always rave about my secret recipe). The store bought dough cookies still taste great because I do not over-cook, use either parchment or an insulated baking sheet, and my oven temp in dead on (and I drop the cookie sheet as above). Everyone seems to overcook and get these thin, burnt edge, hockey-puck cakey in the center things (worse than vending machine cookies!).
