Remember I mentioned Project: Brownies earlier on? Change of plans. We decided to abandon ship and go for Project: Cookies instead. So this is a test recipe I'm doing for my team. And similarly (and hopefully, keeping fingers crossed), if all goes well, it'll come to something at year end.This is the trusty base recipe I've used before. It's so versatile that I'm basically just throwing in whatever addons I have in the house. I've also made them smaller so I can save on the baking time, but do feel free to do drop bigger dollops of cookie dough to make bigger, even more chewy cookies. And yes I like chewy cookies - think Subway, but boyfriend prefers crunchy ones, any recipes to recommend?
