Cooking adventures: Cookies attempt number 2

[erratio]

I used recipe number 3 from my double page of cookie recipes.

Things I learnt/questions I have from this adventure:

1) Don't use a recipe that advertises 3 dozen cookies.
2) Is brown sugar sweeter than white sugar? Because they turned out ridiculously sweet.
3) Stuff expands when it's baked. I should have known this from the last time but I always underestimate the amount of expansion. If I'd made proper sized cookies I have no doubt I could have gotten the full 3 dozen out, instead I got about 15 monster cookies
4) How do you make cookies dense and chewy? I prefer them that way to light and fluffy, but all the recipes assume I want light and fluffy and crunchy.

Tomorrow or Tuesday I hope to attempt banana bread. I would have done it today except I discovered that I'm still missing a couple of ingredients.

Thanks! That looks helpful, although I suspect it will take a lot of experimenting before I get them where I want them.
