I might start with reading a few articles/posts by people like Kenji, Greenspan, et al.

 

So, something along these lines...https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/12/the-food-lab-best-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe.html

 

Or this, from NPR...Cookie-Baking Chemistry: How To Engineer Your Perfect Sweet Treat

 

Or some Cook's Illustrated stuff...but I don't think they let you read much for free.

 

Often in an article, the writer points you to a good book.

 

And there's always the library to investigate when you have suggestions.

 

I have a soft spot for Nick Malgieri, so...(eG-friendly Amazon.com link)
