Mass Audubon was looking for volunteers to bake cookies for their maple sugaring weekend, so I took it as an opportunity to taste test 6 different chocolate chip cookie recipes I had in my cookbooks (plus Nestlé Toll House Refrigerated Cookie Dough). My coworkers and Brandon's work family judged the appearance, taste, and texture of the 7 cookies. While some enjoyed the traditional crisp, flat result from the Joy of Cooking recipe, Todd English's and Thomas Keller's cookies were the winners for most, with a nice ratio of dough to chips and a balanced soft but crispy texture.
