So. About those cookies. (Hi Cj!) 29 January 2008 7:26 am

My most recent forays into cookieliciousness fall into the latter category: Alton Brown and America’s Test Kitchen both agree that melted butter is the way to chewy cookie goodness, and after the results of my most recent experiments in that field, I am not about to argue.
I used the recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies in The New Best Recipe, which turns out to be identical to the one in Alton’s “Three Chips for Sister Marsha” episode: there’s an egg to separate, but it’s worth it, oh yes. Then I pondered ATK’s very specific instructions on how to shape the cookies, and decided to try an experiment:
Same batter, different shaping techniques. What difference does it make?
