I just made these and they turned out great. I ended up making some modifications (whole wheat flour, I had to add some olive oil because I was short on butter and I mixed half a cup of peanut butter, a little oatmeal and some pecans). Yum.

I hope this works here in Oz.
Sadly the Nestle and Ghirardelli do not, they just go flat and dry.

I made these cookies and everyone in my family thought they were amazing. My teenage son said, “Mom, keep this recipe!” and “These are like something you buy at a bakery!” There must be something to the baking soda trick. I found a recipe years ago that was similar and you used 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup shortening. The dry ingredients were the same. Thanks for sharing!

I actually have a cooking tip! Scary, I know! I love chocolate chip cookies though and there was an article a year or so ago in the NYT about what made the perfect chocolate chip cookie. The one secret every baker they interviewed had was letting the dough rest. At a minimum, you should refridgerate overnight. They seem to think 36 hours was the magic number. I even saved the link to the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/dining/09chip.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1&8dpc

These look great – I’ll definitely give them a shot. I usually go with the Nestle recipe from the back of the bag and add a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Why did you sprinkle some salt and some with sugar? Is it a trick you know?

Yeah, come to think of it? Skip the damned cookies altogether and go straight for the chocolate. So much easier! And it totally quenches any cravings.

OK, so I skimmed down to the photos, and since there was nothing in the shot to give me a sense of perspective, the photo of the chocolate chunks looked like an Entire. Pot. Of. Chocolate. Oh. My. God.

After I realized that it was actually a much smaller amount of chocolate, I was less enthusiastic about this recipe. ;-)
