These cookies are on the flat and crispy side of the cookie spectrum, with soft centers and pockets of molten chocolate throughout. In our quest for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie, our test kitchen found higher-quality options and superior meltability in hand-chopped chocolate bars over purchased chocolate chips. We know there are die-hard chocolate chip fans out there, so feel free to use the type of chocolate that you prefer.
