• I made chocolate chip cookies using recipes from celebrity chefs Duff Goldman, Alton Brown, and Martha Stewart to see which was the best.
• Brown's super precise recipe resulted in delicious, fluffy cookies that were also the smallest of the group.
• Stewart's recipe resulted in chocolate-laden cookies that were extremely tasty, but sort of overwhelming.
• My favorite cookies were the ones I made using Goldman's recipe since they were impressive-looking and flavorful.

Here's what it was like following these recipes, plus which came out on top.
