OW DO YOU like your chocolate chip cookies? Are
you a fan of the soft, chewy, ooey-gooey style? Or do you
fl y your fl ag for the more delicate thin and crispy style?
I can’t tell you how many hours we’ve spent debating
this topic in the Cook’s Country offi ce. It’s a good-natured, wholesome,
passionate debate, one that inspires remarkably well-articulated argu-
ments on both sides. And in the end, everyone gets a glass of milk. If
only every debate were so civil.
Me, I’ve never met a chocolate chip cookie that I wouldn’t eat
(except maybe one with nuts—I have a strict no-nuts policy when
it comes to cookies). But if pressed for a desert-island decision, I’ll
choose thin and crispy. I just love the buttery fl avor and satisfying
snap, with little pockets of chocolate revealing themselves as you
crunch your way through. Plus, when a cookie is this thin, you can
eat a bunch of them, right?
Lucky for me, our talented test cook Alli Berkey created an excel-
lent recipe for this thinner style, which you can fi nd on page 16. I
hope you try it. But if thick and chewy is more your speed, visit
CooksCountry.com—you’ll fi nd a recipe there.TUCKER SHAWEditor in Chief
