It’s a simple swap.
This American dessert is a classic for a reason.
I recently triedAlton Browns chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe, which may take the prize for best of all.

Unlike other cookies that are crisp and flat, Altons are dense and chewy.
The hefty and rotund cookies have the slightest crunch when enjoyed straight from the oven.
Inside, theyre marvelously soft, filled with gooey, rich chocolate in every bite.

This increased gluten makes the cookies chewier and gives them a better rise.
According to his website, Altons cookies are an adaptation of the classic back-of-the-bag Nestle Toll House recipe.
Alton also uses melted butter instead of softened.
I assume this is because Nestle wanted customers to use up their entire 12-ounce bag of chocolate.
The abundance of gooey chocolate inside each cookie is a delightful surprise.
Since cookies generally burn easily, I recommend keeping a close eye on the oven as they bake.
Remove them when theyre a deep golden brown.
They will continue to cook for a couple of minutes outside the oven.
Eat these cookies warm from the oven or reheat them to enjoy the gooey pull of chocolate.
Serve with a glass of milk, coffee, orvanilla ice cream.
