Chef John's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cookie Recipes. (Chef John's Chocolate Chip Cookies). Crispy around the edges, chewy and chocolaty in the middle, and thin, oh so thin. My 'secret' formula has been adapted from Alton Brown's famous, 'The Thin' recipe, and is fairly foolproof. The only real variable is the baking time, since we all scoop slightly different amounts. And yes, of course you can add nuts to yours!
