Chocolate Chunk Cookies
For some reason the story that's suppose to accompany the picture never materialized so instead I'm just gonna write down stuff that used to be a part of the piece that never was.
The cookie is five inches in diameter. Almost as big as my face and could possibly end world hunger.
Didn't use chips. Instead I melted a block of dark chocolate, chilled it and chopped it. Now, you don't actually chop chilled chocolate because when you try and do it they shatter. And that is wonderful. I had big chunks and I had fine chocolate sand.
I wanted my cookies to look lumpy and crack-y. I want them stop turning out like that thing up there I mean they look good but they always look like that.
Still searching for that perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. This one is not it. They got great feedback from the family but not from me. No, not horrible just not IT.
Tried chilling for a long time like that New York Times article suggested and recommended. The funny thing is I've done that before without realizing it. Because for me that wasn't ooh this would give the eggs time to get to the flour. It was just left over dough from last night. But why did I not think that chilling would make a difference? Because it really did. When I baked it the following day it was certainly better.
