Alton Brown likes to explain the processes that takes place during food
preparation. I like this approach because a cook should be aware of
what's happening on thermochemical and chemical level. The problem is
that he lets these reactions dominate his style which results in some
pretty impractical cooking practices. Mostly, he's good for a laugh
these days.

My suggestion is that you increase the amount of sugar and oil in your
cookie recipe and don't overbake. I'm eating cookies that's pretty much
the exact opposite. It's called "stone cookies" and is essentially a
biscotti in a cookie shape. Boy is it hard!
