A couple of weeks ago I tried a new recipe for chocolate chip cookies. If you’ve read my blog a few times or follow me on Twitter you know I have a big ol’ crush on Alton Brown. What can I say… talent, wit and just enough geek-boy in him to keep me interested in any show he does or book he writes or commercial he stars in. Yup… I got it reeeeeeeeeeeeal bad for Alton… and I’m not at all ashamed to admit it :) Alton’s show “Good Eats” is one of my favorites and I’ll watch the episodes repeatedly never getting bored or restless. In his episode Three Chips For Sister Marsha he provided us with three different chocolate chip cookie recipes… The Thin… The Puffy… and… The Chewy. Out of all the ridiculous number of chocolate chip cookie recipes I’ve tried, sadly most have turned out like “The Thin” so I have absolutely no desire to make that one. Previously I’ve made The Chewy and really liked them so this time I decided to try “The Puffy”. What I liked about that recipe was the cookies retain so much of their height. I know it’s all about personal preference but sorry me no likey flat chocolate chip cookies. When I made “The Puffy” the cookies were sooooo good that by the time I thought about blogging them, they were all gone! So this week when I came across the idea of making chocolate chip cookies… with Oreos… I knew exactly what base recipe I’d use. Once again… thank you Alton Brown!
