What's the best way to make chocolate chip cookies?

Published in Daily Trivia
Chocolate chip cookies are made with sugar, flour, eggs, semi-sweet baker's chocolate and butter. While the Toll House recipe is considered the standard, the ingredients can be adjusted to give the cookies slightly different properties.
- For a thin, crisp cookie, increase the baking soda by up to 50%, replace one of the eggs with milk, and raise the ratio of brown sugar to white.
- For a soft, cakey cookie, use cake flour, substitute baking powder for baking soda, and use shortening instead of butter.
- For a chewy cookie, use bread flour, omit one egg white, and melt the butter before incorporating it into the mix.
- Sometimes a crunch is added by putting nuts in the cookies.
