When I don't make Compost Cookies, (my general, go-to cookie of awesomeness) my default chocolate chip cookie is Alton Brown's The Chewy. I should just say, these are my ideal chocolate chip cookies- they're just right. Chewy, with a little bit of heft (you make them on the larger side) and just a little bit underbaked in the center. They are cookies that I compare all chocolate chip cookies to.
I am generally not a fan of flat, or crispy, or cake-y chocolate chip cookies, I mean, I'll eat them, but they aren't my absolute favorite.
These cookies are excellent. Just the right amount of chewy, with a nice hit of saltiness, I can definitely see adding them to my cookie repertoire. This is one of the two chocolate chip cookie recipes in the book, and I can definitely see why this one made it- it's a classic. Not quite as good as the ideal, but definitely close.
For someone that is relatively practiced at cookie making, this recipe's a snap. Mix together ingredients, chill, and then bake. My friends were appreciative!
oh! can you send me the recipe please?

ReplyDeleteThere's the link! If you aren't using Diamond Kosher Salt though, ratchet back the salt in it- otherwise they are too salty.
