Among life's simple and sublime pleasures, hot chocolate chip cookies, fresh from the oven, rank high. But what makes the perfect chocolate chip cookie? For us, it's thin and chewy, with ripples of buttery cookie piled up around the chocolate bits. We don't like anything else adulterating our cookies - no nuts, extra fruit, peanut butter or coconut. All these things are fine elsewhere, but don't mess with the classic, we say.





Mmmm... flat, with a bit of a crisp to the outside and a chewy inside....

What? No thick and crispy votes? I must say, those are pretty good for dunking in milk...

When I read "flat," I assume you mean the cracker-flat cookies that seem to be popular these days. That's too flat. I don't want thick cookies, like cake cookies, but I like them with a good bite--crispy, but not crumbly on the edges, and a little soft and chewy in the middle.

Anastasia, I agree: crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. Perfection!
