I put it off for whatever reason, and then I'm down to the wire, so I think "Well, maybe I'll just make some chocolate chip cookies, after all!" lol This is great advice about the butter, and I'm looking forward to trying it out!

A tablespoon rather than the teaspoon the tollhouse recipe calls for. I add a little extra flour (but found King Arthur dries my cookies out (so I stick with Pillsbury unbleached) Extra large eggs rather than large. And I add chopped walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts and macadamia nuts :) The variations you suggested sound good too ! oHHH, NOW YOU'RE MAKING ME HUNGRY....

Crispy crust yet slightly under baked reigns supreme! I like my chocolate dark, but in cookies it's all about the milk chocolate! So when are you going to bake me said cookies? p.s. mint chocolate chips are AWESOME! The softer & chewier the better. Crispy crust yet slightly under baked reigns supreme!

Haven't perfected my chocolate chip yet, but my current favorite cookies are butternut squash oatmeal with butterscotch chips and fall spices (cinnamon, ground ginger, green cardamom). A little rich, but so delicious. I like to bake them so they are just a bit crisp on the outside, but still soft and chewy inside. Thanks for the heads up about the melted butter.

So much easier and the results are great. Her other tricks are to triple the vanilla, add a tablespoon or two of milk, and reduce the sugar a hair. I always increase the salt too. I still haven't managed to try aging the dough the way the NYT was talking about... cookie dough just doesn't stand much chance of getting aged around me :).
