Chocolate Chip Cookies

Seems that chocolate chippers are big time favorites. Kind like cherry or apple pie. My sweetie, Mary Ann, used to make nestleé Toll House chippers regularly. For some unknown reason to me she stopped making them. Years ago.

Then about two weeks ago I was watching Alton Brown on the Food TV channel. His fanaticism that day focused on none other than chocolate chippers. He spent the entire 30 minute program making three variations of the delicious chippers. The first was The Thin. He and his helper (looked a lot like the cookie monster) explained why and how the cookies were flat. Next Mr. Brown made a batch of what he calls The Puffy. On cue his cookie monster told us why. Last was The Chewy.

I tried the chewy variation. Big. Bold. And full of chips. Nestlé, semi-sweet chocolate chips. MA asked what the difference was between Toll House cookies and The Chewy. Seems very little. But then maybe that was Mr. Brown's point. Only small changes make big changes in the texture of the of the finished cookie.

At any rate, I'm on to the next batch, The Thin. Why don't you try them and let me know. Betcha can't go wrong with any 'em.
