I think if you are a person without a go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe, than this would be a good one to have in your pocket. My forever favorite, or what I’m assuming will stay my forever favorite, is the Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies from Handle the Heat with the only alteration being that I require the butter to be browned.
The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe this book provides is a solid cookie. If I could only use one word to describe these cookies it would be: fine. I think this recipe could possibly be improved by browning the butter (there are few things that aren’t improved by the addition of brown butter) but that definitely ups the challenge and effort required. Overall its not a standout cookie and I think it lacks some complexity. Most cookies develop more flavor when frozen or chilled overnight, but these had a similar texture and flavor after one hour of freezing and after two days.
Overall: 3.5/5
Flavor: 3/5
Texture: 4/5
