The Chewy

So I finally made this cookie, I've always been a fan of Alton Brown, I'm a math and science dork so its interesting for me to see the science behind the foods I love.  I've always made the Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and was moderately satisfied with it but I love a chewy cookie.  I started to make this cookie and husband was a little nervous about not using the Toll House recipe and I told him it was chewy and his comment was "I like chewy."

These cookies were a complete hit, for once hubby didn't have a comment on how to improve something.  Also I've figured out/given permission to use the new camera, so yea for better pictures!
