Eric has a recipe for chocolate chip cookies from Thomas Keller that he swears by - and I have to admit, they're pretty good (my only critique is slightly too much butter makes them spread just a little too much). I was very excited recently when I discovered a recipe that just might be better. I had a craving for cookies and bought chocolate chips at Trader Joes. My bus iphone google search yielded several recipes, but the one from Calorie Count (of all places) stood out. It was phenomenal when made, and so easy! My only tip would be to use an oven thermometer to make sure the oven temperature is right. They don't cook long, and you need to make sure they don't burn.
