Sometimes, you just have to have cookies. I love Good Eats - perhaps my favorite show on the Food Network. Even so, I’ve only tried a few of Alton Brown’s recipes. This one is by far the most successful. The Chewy (click link for recipe) chocolate chip cookie made slightly differently than most, uses melted butter instead of creamed softened butter, and bread flour instead of all purpose. Unusual for me, I made these cookies *almost* exactly like the recipe. I microwaved the butter instead of melting it in a pan (I’ve figured out the exact timing for this in my ‘wave) and I doubled the vanilla (I always do). I also used sea salt instead of kosher.
My ingredients were as organic as I had on hand - Sunspire Vegan Semisweet chips, organic local eggs, organic vanilla, organic bread flour.
They are chewy, and yummy as predicted. Must not eat them all before Stephen gets home. Oh, and they get the Julia seal of approval too.
