Compromise with cookies

Making chocolate chip cookies has always brought smiles and good will. As a new wife a few years ago, I offered to make cookies for my husband to bring into the office. His only request - make them thin and crispy. Now, I prefer them thick and chewy - quite the opposite from what I was imagining. After an argument - I reluctantly made the cookies that he would like most. The 'thin and crisp chocolate chip cookie' recipe from the American Test Kitchen has since become my FAVORITE cookie recipe - turning out fantastic carmelized cookies that stay chewy for days.
