I look forward to ordering the ingredients from KAF, and trying this recipe with a related mission in mind: the perfect chocolate, chewy, shiny-top, brownie-style cookie. Situated about 60 miles south of Houston, TX along US Hwy 59 is a smokehouse that offers among other food items, a chocolate cookie, that the owner has named "The Chocolate Chewy." It is without a doubt the finest cookie, of any variety, you will ever eat in your lifetime. They sell them by the "bazillions." It is like a chewy, glossy skinned brownie in cookie form, whose glaze is not brittle, and does not crack into pieces when you bite into it. My mission is to try to develope a recipe that matches "The Chocolate Chewy." I have tried so many recipes, I have lost count, and resigned myself to defeat until I received my March/April issue of Cook's Illustrated which has an article on craking the code for making chewy brownies. With that "scientific" article, together with KAF's top rated recipe, I have resumed my quest to the end that I may mark it off my Bucket List. Any advice is much welcomed. And many thanks to KAF....I fell in love with baking when I stepped into your shop in Norwich almost 30 years ago. Buddy, try our Fudge Drops recipe - I think it's just what you're looking for. Flourless Fudge Cookies might be a possibility, too - they're chewier than the Fudge Drops. I would SO like to help you knock this off your bucket list - esp. since you actually visited our store oh-so-many years ago! Have fun - PJH
