This is just the way I like my chocolate chip cookies. It's the chewy center I go for.
I so agree with you. How many names are there for the 'perfect' chocolate chip cookies? There's the 'world's best', the blue ribbon', even 'grandma's top secret…' and just as you said they very rarely measure up to their title.
The funny thing is, years ago I became obsessed with finding/creating what I thought was the perfect choc chip cookie and after doing so kept it to myself out of selfishness. I'll be damned if it isn't the exact same recipe! All that work and I could've just checked all recipes:) I believe the key is the two eggs – gives that chewiness in the center while the use of both shortening and butter ensures a better texture too. Oh well – no need to keep mine a secret anymore!
Thanks for sharing – your blog is absolutely gorgeous!
You had me at cookie.
They certainly look perfect to me. So I deem the perfect chocolate chip cookie! GREG
If I were stranded on a deserted island and could only have one food it would be chocolate chip cookies.
Yours looks like chewy chocolatey deliciousness!
Hey! First time commenting! These look great… amazing how many recipes there can be for one awesome cookie!
Wondering, why butter-flavored shortening and not all butter? And what kind would you use?
Now I want a cookie, and it's only 9:30 in Los Angeles! I should probably just concentrate on finishing my coffee!!

These are some of the thickest chocolate chip cookies I've seen! There is no choice but to love them!
Oh my! That's how I love my choc chip cookies as well!! Just one question about the cookies, though … Do they remain soft days after they are baked? If so, then you really have posted the perfect recipe for CCC's. 🙂
if the blog world is any indication, there are no less than 10383 recipes for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. 🙂
Your discription of your favorite chocolate chip cookie is exactly the same as how I would describe mine! Not all chocolate chip cookies are created equal. Yours look wonderful. Love the picture of the single on the lovely white dish. I'll be giving your recipe a try 🙂
Those also look like the perfect cookies for making an ice cream sandwich, nice and thick.
I think it's possible that every chocolate chip cookie is the perfect one at one time or another! And, I like trying every recipe I see for them. Yours sound great with pecans!
