Food: Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am a born recipe-twiddler.  The problem is that I never write the individual twiddles down (how much of what spice was that?) and so the perfect twiddle comes and goes to be replaced by the less perfect twiddle.

This is, however, fairly close to the top of the range on my twiddling with chocolate chip cookies. (Could have done with a minute smidge less sugar if I could be sure they'd still spread well.)
