Check out Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen, they're like an university of "pro"fessors/scientists/cooks. They test and retest every possible technique, ingredients, and give you the results, good and bad. I own CIA school book, Thomas Keller The French Laundry, Le Cordon Bleu, I have over 30 cookbooks, but I mostly turn to them for advice.

If you're making chocolate chip cookies, use Guittard chocolate chips, it has a higher fat content. Or any other chip that has higher fat than regular Nestle or Hersheys. And only use THE best ingredients(everything counts) butter,sugar,flour, etc. Just check Cook's Illustrated out, thats where I got my info from. HAVE FUN!ENJOY!

buy nestle choco chips, follow directions on back. Then the most important step: refrigerate the dough before baking. This will result in a chewy, execellent cookie. Everybody loves mine!!
**also instead of mixing white and brown sugars, use all the sugar amount as brown sugar. don't overcook.
