Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes, chocolate chip cookies are the only possible answer.  They are easy to make but eternally tempting, smell amazing in the oven and taste like luxury out of it.  The mixture is almost as delicious as the cooked product, as long as you don’t mind eating raw egg.  They are also wonderfully transportable, which is handy if you are spreading cookie goodness across the nation and so they need to survive a train journey.

I used The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook chocolate chip recipe, which leads to perfectly sized cookies (roughly the size of a small cat, if there was any doubt) that taste so distinctly like a piece of classic American baking that you almost need a very small Stars and Stripes and a baseball mitt to eat them.

Next time I will put more chocolate in (when my answer is not cookies, it is chocolate) but I finally found the correct cookie texture.  They may have survived the journey, but these cookies were anything but tough.
