Chemist Divulges How to Bake the Perfect Cookie

As I was driving home this afternoon I heard this story on NPR -- an interview with Shirley Corriher about her new book Bakewise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Baking. When asked to name her favorite cookie recipe for this time of year (i.e., the yule season), her answer was Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. They definitely look cool, and I'm planning to try this recipe soon. (The recipe is at the NPR website.)
