The cookie with extra butter is rich and delicious.

    I never had chocolate chip cookies, but there are dedicated recipes for chocolate butter cookies

    Amateur home baker here! Usually one labeled as "chewy" will have a higher fat content and more butter. A kind of good comparison ratio is around 2 sticks/16 tablespoons/250g of butter to 2 eggs (or maybe 1 egg and 1 egg yolk) for something that's fairly high-fat and chewy. Also browning the butter is goooood. If you're genuinely curious, check out King Arthur Baking's website for a chewy, or browned butter, chocolate chip cookie recipe. Yes, the flour company. They have excellent recipes.

    If they are hard as a rock and make the dog throw up, then you added too much salt (~7 yr old me when I messed up the measurements). Dirt would probably be better.

    just add 50 lbs of butter, 70 lbs of flour, 100 lbs of sugar, 10 lbs of baking soda and 500 eggs to the dirt .... just throw it all into a cement mixer and pour it into a blast furnace for 30 seconds

    Middle left is not too much flour IMO. I like my chocolate chip cookies at the supercritical state between cookies and scones.

    Too much butter looks like something to try

    edit: wait no that’s flour, put the sugar there and I’m in

    When we were kids my mom used to rush the mixing and there would be chunks of sugar like the size of the chocolate chips randomly in some cookies. It was so delicious, and I assumed she did it on purpose. Years later when I asked her for her recipe I was so disappointed that the sugar chunks weren't in there.

    Might have also been a factor of humidity and the sugar just sitting in the pantry in a paper bag or box.

    You could make the usual recipe with 75% of the sugar, and then also add a couple Tb of sugar you let turn hard and crunchy at the chips stage.
