For this experiment, I went over far too many recipes – each recipe proclaiming it’s the best. I was leaning toward Jim Lahey’s recipe, but changed my mind after seeing pictures of his chocolate chip cookies. It looked too skinny for my liking. I wanted my first batch to be fat and fluffy.
Guess which recipe won? It was right in front of me all along.
I halved the ingredients and followed the instructions to a T. Result? Crisp edges and a soft center. Mmmm! By the way, with the one cup chocolate chips, I ended up using 1/3 cup of it to top the cookie dough balls. I probably should’ve used more, so I’ll definitely do that next time.
