Shaping Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies
From Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
The step by step technique is as follows.

1. Creating a jagged surface on each dough ball gives the finished cookies an attractive appearance. Start by rolling a scant 1/4 cup of dough into a smooth ball.

2. Holding the dough ball in the fingertips of both hands, pull the dough apart into two equal halves.

3. Each half will have a jagged surface where it was ripped from the other. Rotate each piece 90 degrees so that the jagged surface faces up.

4. Jam the halves back together into one ball so that the top surface remains jagged.
