My Best Chocolate Chip Cookies - Tuesdays with Dorie

My Best Chocolate Chip Cookies (Tuesdays with Dorie)
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Kait of Kait’s Plate selected My Best Chocolate Chip Cookies, page 68 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

These cookies have bittersweet chopped chocolate and walnut. Lots of people got flat cookies, but mine didn't spread too much. I did refrig my dough before baking them.

I sent them as part of a Valentine's care package to a few friends and they lasted for a few days through the travel.

  1. These look wonderful - I love the textural look to them! So different - and what a nice gift for someone to receive by mail. Glad they didn't spread too much for you - I actually enjoyed the flat "change" of pace! Back to the Oly's!

  4. They look delicious! I'm afraid if I put a tray of cookie dough balls in the fridge they'd have been eaten as is.

  15. Yours have that characteristic look of using chopped chocolate instead of chips. Much more appealing!

  16. They look good! A colleague of mine has been eating these for 11 days now, and he says they are still good, so they're definitely keepers.

  17. Your cookies look wonderful Mary - love the way the chopped chocolate is visible throughout. Mine were thin and crispy, definitely not a favorite, but still fun to make!

  24. I'd love to have these cookies accompany me on a trip! They wouldn't last a few days though! A few hours, maybe, but not a few days! Haha!
