Default Choc chip cookies: chewy or crisp?

Good topic for debate. Do you like your chocolate chip cookies flat and
crisp, or puffy and chewy?

I personally like them to flatten out quite a bit and get crispy. My BF
likes them to be chewy and not as flat. My daughter's 9, she likes em
all. Mom always made them crispy when I was growing up.

So for tonight's cookies, I made the dough using 1/4 c less flour than
called for, and baked them for 12 minutes, til nicely browned. Then I
added a couple of tablespoons of flour to the dough, and baked the
other 2 dozen for 10 minutes, til lightly golden. Voila! We had a batch
of crispy buttery cookies, and a batch of soft gooey cookies.
Everyone's happy.

Then again, who wouldn't be happy with 4 dozen fresh homemade chocolate
chip cookies in the house?!
