@Mathea I don’t consider myself a baker, but when recipes are broken down like his it helps me a lot. Glad you find it useful. :)

I have never seen the chocolate chip cookie analyzed this way, and I had a little light-bulb-over-the-head moment in realizing this could be a very useful tool for me to improve my sad baking skills.

I’m a prolific cook, but baking is inexplicable a hit-or-miss (mostly “miss”) affair for me. Probably because I tend to deviate too much from the recipes: that’s where your helpful chart will come in handy!

Thanks for doing the work for me! :)

Dropping by the let you know that last week I got crazy enough to try ALL of the recipes above. I liked Alice’s the best, though I thought all of them were excellent. It was fun!

I always make Alton Brown’s chewy recipe. I love the comparison chart. Ashley’s cookies look great, I really like a thick soft cookie. I’ll have to give her recipe a try.

Suddenly, I have a craving for chocolate chip cookies. The question is, which one?

Ashley and Alice: It was a pleasure to make such amazing cookies. Thanks for inspiring this post! :)

Carolyn: Thanks for writing about the Ad Hoc cookies or I wouldn’t have cared as much. :)

Erica: That reminds me, I need to use lard next time. :P

Julie: If you can fend of my wife as tester… haha!

Fuji Mama and Susannah: Isn’t it cool how all these different proportions and styles can produce delicious cookies?

Paul: It’s hard to go wrong with Martha. :)

Nice post! For a few years now my wife has been making Martha Stewart’s Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie and I have to say they are by far my favorite because they are thin and crispy with a delicious buttery taste. Here’s the recipe: http://bit.ly/1cFywV

Of course now my wife constantly gets requests for the cookies during the holidays…lol.

Wow. I am really loving the scientific breakdown. If only I had been there to sample the cookies myself. ;-)

I usually do Tollhouse, only I substitute 4 oz of shortening for 4 oz of the butter and add some flour (makes it less thin/lacy), and also I like to throw in at least half a bag of Heath bar toffee bits in addition to the chocolate.

I LOVE this post! The comparison of all the ingredients is really interesting. If you ever want to throw another recipe into the mix, here’s my favorite: http://www.lafujimama.com/2008/09/firehouse-chocolate-chip-cookies.html

I absolutely love the chart. It’s great to see how much they vary – and yet they’re all just so darn tasty.

Now that’s what I call a contest. If you get to nibble on them all, that’s a prize in itself. Glad you liked the Ad Hoc chocolate chip cookie recipe. It really is pretty dang good. ;)
