As you may remember, I was refrigerating a portion of the dough from this recipe to do my own refrigeration test on it, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. I believe that letting the dough rest in the refrigerator for 36 hours is recommended, but I decided to bake [...]

When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, I like them chewy and gooey and warm. Out of all the chocolate chip cookies I’ve personally baked (both on this blog and off), Alton Brown’s The Chewy has been my favorite. The process of making chocolate chip cookies is pretty uniform throughout each recipe. Cream butter and [...]
