After failing every cookie recipe I've tried since moving to California, including my tried and true favorite chocolate chip recipe from my childhood, I was determined to make something better than just an "edible" cookie. I googled something like "chewy chocolate chip cookies". Then I clicked on Images. I scrolled through many, many pictures and finally clicked on one that looked exactly like what I was craving. The recipe looked a little strange. It involved something called the "jagged edge technique." It didn't seem like something that would end up being the best cookies on the planet. I went back to the images and scrolled through until I found the next picture that looked like the perfect cookie. Strangely enough, it was a completely different website with the exact same recipe. I thought I should try it.
They were large. They were chewy. They were delicious. I don't even have pictures because they were gone so fast.
But here's the recipe I followed. EXACTLY. Except I used milk chocolate chips because I love them.
