Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love chocolate chip cookies, they’re my favorite cookie. I grew up making batches of these, reading the recipe right off the Nestle bag for Toll House cookies. But it wasn’t until I watched Alton Brown’s Good Eats episode on these popular cookies that I discovered there was an entire world of chemistry behind my favorite little indulgence. Whether or not you melt the butter, use butter-flavored shortening, adjust the ratio of brown to white sugar, even the protein count of the flour you choose.. all of it can change this cookie from thin and crispy to puffy or chewy.
