In the past I’ve made pretty bold claims that chocolate chip cookies are the only style of cookie that counts for anything. Don’t expect me to recant that claim, but I also want to go on the record saying that I don’t mean to malign other kinds. I certainly won’t object to a good cookie, [...]

I’ve covered several chocolate chip cookie types so far and thought that now would be a good time to review how to tweak the ingredients of cookies to make different styles.

I am not shy about my love of chocolate chip cookies. I love ‘em. I can’t get enough of that carby-chewy-chocolaty combo. I will try almost any kind of cookie—sugar, oatmeal, etc.—but my love affair begins and ends with chocolate chip cookies.
I have long been on the search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. It’s [...]
