search for the best chocolate chip cookie

This morning I did what any gal would do after an early am run….  I made cookies and “tasted” the batter an innumerable amount of times (of course i’m sure it was only like twice or something)

It’s my friend/coworker Kate’s bday and I’m on the hunt for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.  I’m certainly not the only one.

And so naturally – since I still had to take a shower and be at work in less than an hour — I decided to try two recipes instead of one.  Needless to say – i ended up taking a morning “lunch break” to make up for my excessive tardiness.

First – i went with the classic “Joy of Cooking” recipe. I’ve used it a few times and it’s always a winner but definitely more of a favorite for the thin, chewy cookie admirer.  I made half of them with milk chocolate chips and half of them with white chocolate chips.

Then I opted to try this yummy-looking inflated version simply because of the rave review. They were exactly as I was told they were.  If you like your cookies thicker– soft and chewy still (only slightly less chewy than the above), then you’ll wanna use this one for your next after-school, after-work, after-waking up snack.

They must have been good ’cause there were only four left after just a few hours.

Tell us what your favorite chocolate-chip cookie recipe is.  If it’s not a big family secret, post it in the comments- or give us a link.  I’m determined to find the perfect one and if I do, i might never use any other again.
