When I made these Chocolate Chip Cookies I had done well to make sure my dishes and work area was clean during my time in the kitchen. What I didn't do so well was making the cookie itself. I had done terrible at looking at the instructions and mixed the baking soda with baking powder instead so the cookies were hard and crunchy. What I would have done differently is making sure to get the correct ingredients. One thing I learned that is important to this recipe is to make sure all the ingredients are correct and proportioned well.
