I looked all over the web for the perfect soft chocolate chip cookie a couple months back, and I found this great article in Sunset magazine's archives - from Dec. '95. They did the regular TollHouse recipe with slight variations to get a thick, crunchy cookie; a soft, chewy cookie; a thin, crisp cookie; and a thin, crisp, and chewy cookie. I only made the thick, soft, chewy ones and they turned out WONDERFULLY. I mean it. To die for.
