Hollywood has a double standard where victimization is concerned.

Why are my chocolate chip cookies cakey and not dense and chewey?

It might be one of a few reasons....

1. too much baking soda, they rise higher (maybe decrease it slightly from the recipe)
2. too much egg (sizes of eggs differ at times) and too much egg in a recipe tends to make things "cakier"
3. maybe the silpat is not letting the cookies "crisp" on the bottoms, I bake my cookies directly on a metal cookie sheet
4. over baking - I tend to take my drop cookies out when they are just slightly golden around the edges and still "raw" looking in the center, they set nicely as they cool, let them cool on the pan for a minute before transferring to a rack
5. not enough sugar (I like to use dark brown and solidly packed into the measuring cup) sugar affects texture of baked goods, usually less sugar = tougher not as soft baked goods
6. over blending butter, sugar & eggs with a hand mixer. I've read in one of my cooking magazines (Cook's or Fine) something about overblending sugar & eggs for too long sort of "cooks" them. Something with about about a chemical breakdown in the proteins.

Every time I dream I return to the same world. I am an architect, the landscape and the city have become a monument to my life there, a life which seems to have spanned thousands of years of memories, walking through the halls and galleries of my dreams.

When I return to waking I am only the architect of my own prison.
The cracks rise- you've fallen through them now, and this is what lies below. Empty and dark, it stretches on. Let it dig new eyes into you.
Just beneath the surface lurks a series of portals to alternate dimensions.

Out beyond the windows of wrought iron and glass, the street thunders, its ordinarily benign occupants now chanting and roaring and cheering, as if in the throws of some mad ritual. They wave their broken signs and tattered banners, they cry their mournful slogans, and in the very depths of the city, something stirs.
