How do you make chocolate chip cookies more chewy?

To make chewy cookies of almost any kind the secret is in two steps. First the dough must not be too wet. If you follow the recipe it should ok but if you get too much liquid (like using extra large eggs) add a bit more flour until the dough will not stick to your fingers in big clumps, it will just barely stick in little tiny patches. The other thing is to only bake them for 8 to 9 minutes at 375. They will look a little underbaked, just the highest points on the cookies will look golden brown they will be kinda splotchy looking, but if you take them out and let them cool on the baking sheet a couple of minutes before placing them on paper towels to finish cooling you should end up with nice soft chewy cookies with a crispy outer shell. I've been making cookies for over 20 years and I'm told no one can beat me!
