The OP preaches wisdom. Anytime I see a cookie that isn’t chocolate chip, my first thought is “I wish these cookies were chocolate chip.” Also, I’m ok with chewy, but light and crispy is my own cookie nirvana. ---

Anytime I see a cookie that isn’t chocolate chip, my first thought is “I wish these cookies were chocolate chip.” Also, I’m ok with chewy, but light and crispy is my own cookie nirvana. Damn straight. Chewy is so fucking overrated. A crispy cookie, thin and baked correctly, will virtually dissolve on your tongue. ---

Chocolate chocolate chip cookies is where it’s at. I take the recipe off the back of the Toll House bag and add about 1/3 cup cocoa powder. Dammit now I want some cookies, and I’m stuck at work. ---

I love me a good chocolate chip cookie, but for me, the mint-chocolate Girl Scout cookies, or Pepperidge Farm Mint Milanos are tops. Especially if they’ve been frozen. ---

Sometimes, a thick chewy ginger snap with ginger so heavy that it makes your eyebrows sweat, can beat the chocolate chip cookie. Unless there is a glass of milk nearby, then the chocolate chip wins again. ---

Speaking of variants, our **Angua** has come up with a recipe for Chocolate-Covered Coffee Bean Cookies. She has yet to send me one though (hint hint).
