This article also tells techniques for creating the perfect tasting and perfect texture of chocolate chip cookies. Well known bakeries mention their secrets to their special cookie. Even though the chocolate chip cookie seems simple - there are many ways it can go wrong and a lot of specific techniques that perfect the cookie! And it is good to experiment and find ones own techniques or additions that satisfies. I found this site from Joy the Baker.
