OK, that title is slightly misleading I guess. This recipe from Meg over at Megnut.com is actually for a Mean Chocolate Chip Cookie. She asked for chocolate chip cookie receipes from her readers and then took the average of all the recipes and created her own recipe. The measurements are rather...exact?
After the jump, the recipe Meg came up with.
A Mean Chocolate Chip Cookie
2.04 cups all-purpose flour
0.79 tsp. salt
0.79 tsp. baking soda
0.805 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
0.2737 stick unsalted butter, cold
0.5313 stick unsalted butter, melted
(1 US stick = 8 tablespoons = 1/4 lb.)
0.84 cups light brown sugar
0.10 cups dark brown sugar
0.54 cups white sugar
1.33 eggs
0.33 egg yolk
1.46 tsp. vanilla extract
0.17 tbsp. water
0.25 tbsp. milk
1.53 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 354.17°F, or as close as you can get.
Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together in medium bowl. Set aside. Using a hand or stand mixer, cream butter and sugars until incorporated and smooth. Add vanilla, water, milk and eggs. Mix until all ingredients are combined. Add flour, salt, and baking soda and blend until fully incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 25 minutes. Place parchment paper on one-third of cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto sheet. Some cookies will be on parchment, others off. Cook for 13.04 minutes.

No, because there are "cold" and "melted" sticks as well.
