I thought I had the perfect choc chip cookie recipe but it appears I may be mistaken! I must try this recipe. They certainly do look good!

I know what SHOULD come up when I do a google search for best chocolate chip cookies. It should be this post! Your pics keep getting better and better and (as my dad used to say) they were pretty good to start with! I love the one with the cookie dough…that is a particular weakness of mine.

Thanks so much for sharing, I have been trying to perfect my favorite cookie for years and I am looking forward to testing out this recipe. I haven’t ever heard of these tips before. I wish it wasn’t too hot to bake cookies right now (no air conditioning)sigh…

Thank you Jane, I am going to try and hold off for the 36 hour time frame next time but I think I will bake some off at the 12hr and 24hr as well just to see the difference between the aging times. I also want to try a batch that I portion out and freeze to see if the aging process works the same (it makes such a large batch) plus it’s nice to be able to pop a dozen in the oven and eat them freshly baked.

I found this recipe about a year ago and haven’t made another chocolate chip cookie since. These are the best!! I add walnuts sometimes … this cookies bakes up crisp on the edges which I love and the dough isn’t too too sweet and compliments the chocolate well.

You’re so right. These really do appear quite perfect. I’ve tried that technique of letting this sort of cookie dough “age” for two or three days in the fridge before baking it, and I think it really works. No question that using fine chocolate helps too, and the difference that comes from using something other than just all-purpose flour in chocolate chip cookie dough can be pretty startling too! Nice post and beautiful photos!
