Ahhh, the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe...such has been said for many a variation of this classic treat (and trust me, Ive tried them all). But I can say, without a doubt, that this recipe stands above all others. Adapted from Alton Brown’s “The Chewy”, this recipe is sure to ruin all other chocolate chip cookies for good. Why is it version 2.2? Because trial and error, duh.
