Sadly, this is not a chocolate chip recipe I would go back to. The cookies came out not crunchy nor chewy. It was like a dense and doughy cookie with a prominent flour-y taste. I know for sure it wasn't underbaked. It was dry! Mmmm, and I don't think I messed up at any steps. So yeah.. I would rather just go back to my trusty NM Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe next time.

Taste: 1 star out of 5 (no rich buttery or chocolate flavor, weird flour-y taste, 1 star for chocolate chips)
Texture: 1 star out of 5 (dense, dry)
