I had hoped to make some delicious chocolate chip cookies as part of a Christmas gift for all my co-workers; sadly, I made the mistake of choosing the wrong recipe when I started this venture. I thought Nestle Toll House would be the definitive source for all things chocolate chip. Unfortunately, once I mixed the batter and baked my first batch of cookies, I learned that the Nestle recipe produces a very unattractive, flat cookie (I was hoping for something more along the lines of a fluffy, soft-batch cookie.) I quickly looked online in hopes of finding a "quick fix", but it seems I was too late for any of the recommendations I could find.
Fortunately, the cookies taste quite good - so I decided to give them to the other Westerners living in my building (they care far less for appearance than the people at my school.) Now I just have to find another chocolate chip cookie recipe that doesn't fall flat...
