The perfect chocolate chip cookie is hard to find...

All similar ingredients, somehow different combinations and how it is baked can create so many different cookies. I had a recipe in Australia that I loved. Searching for that same recipe in the USA is basically impossible. And since it was bookmarked on David's computer there's no way I was going to find it. Since I felt like making cookies, what better than a Hershey's recipe right? Hershey has amazing chocolates and baked goods at their store.

Here's the recipe...

I really didn't like this recipe. My cookies were sweet and super chocolatey (There is a ton of sugar and butter in it) but it wasn't the texture I like. I want fluffy, soft cookies. These just got thin and spread out. They weren't what I was looking for. If you like thin cookies then I would definitely try this recipe. Here's what they look like.

I'm ready to try a new recipe next time. Maybe i'll search it on Pinterest. =)
