Tried using bread flour for my cookies and they came out worse than AP

I always see people online swear by bread flour for chewier cookies. Gave it a shot last weekend with my standard chocolate chip recipe. The texture was off, almost tough and dense instead of chewy. They spread way less too. I think the extra protein messed with the butter ratio. Back to all-purpose for me. Has anyone else tried this and gotten bad results?

Yup, tried it once and never again - felt like I was eating a hockey puck.

Three bites in I gave up and just ordered a pizza like everyone else does.
