I made the King Arthur recipe chocolate chip cookies using some of the methods from the New York Times' recipe - chilling for 24 hours, sprinkling with sea salt, 350 degree oven, and making 3.5 ounce balls. I have to say that these are absolutely the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made, and I have been making them for years and years, with various recipes. I will honestly never use another c.c. cookie recipe again! I like what the shortening does, I like how golden brown the cookies were, I like the amount of chocolate chips, I like everything about them. They were chewy but slightly crispy on the very top of the cookie, and absolutely divine when warm. I found that my oven baked the 3.5 ouncers for 16 minutes.
Thank you so much for offering such a fabulous recipe!
