Chewy, crispy, something in between? A guide to getting the chocolate chip cookies YOU want!

p365 20090129 Chewy, crispy, something in between?  A guide to getting the chocolate chip cookies YOU want!

Last week, I baked chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious, though a little crispier than I usually like.

Anyhow, in evaluating my recipe, I decided to figure out just WHAT makes a chocolate chip cookie chewy, and by the same token, what makes it crispy. The best, and most concise article I found was The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie. Click through to read about how low fat butter or margarine can affect the consistency of your cookies, and why you should always sift flour in order to avoid making ultra dense, flour-heavy cookies. And eggs? A little extra can go a long way to making your cookie chewy and delightful.

Do you have a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe? Do they come out chewy or crispy? Share your experiences in the comments!
