Crispy Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies

(Before I start talking about these cookies, I'll let you know that there's a great giveaway at the end of this post. Including FREE CHEESE!)

Ok, now that that's out of the way.....

I'm not going to go on and on about how these are the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. I promise. Everyone thinks they're recipe is the best and, honestly, few stand up to the one that printed on the back of the bag of chocolate chips. But sometimes you're looking for something different. Something... crispier! Soft, gooey cookies have their place but sometimes I just want a little bit of crunch. They're great for dunking in eggnog (I don't like dunking soft cookies - they get too soggy) and they keep really well. They best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever? I'll leave that up for debate. But let's just say if I was Santa, whatever kid left me a plate of these would be written on the "nice" list in permanent marker. [....]
