Enjoy them!<br /><br />As for puffy, it might just be that a bit of extra flour was added, OR the baking soda was omitted. Both of those things can make cakey/puffy cookies.<br /><br />I made some last night and although they headed out the door this morning, I kept 2 behind for the weekend. Shhhhhh!!! ;)Good Things by Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582570273008694707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-66908421734157686192015-05-16T09:09:44.339-04:002015-05-16T09:09:44.339-04:00I made them yummy!!!

They were buttery and delicious. David I was thinking anonymous mentioned puffy cookies. Could be the eggs were to cold? Well we have about a dozen left so I'll send them home with my grandy because I will eat every last one !!!! <br />David thx for the wonderful recipe!Co.Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13614550392612981228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-68438066014845153062015-05-15T19:09:14.218-04:002015-05-15T19:09:14.218-04:00Coco, trust me, they are VERY EASY to make.

I love to eat these whenever I have them.<br /><br /> Check them at the 10 minute mark to make sure they don't get too dark in your oven. <br /><br />Enjoy!

Well, I hope the next batch is what you're looking for; in the meantime, I have a few of them I need to polish off before I give the rest away.<br /><br />Happy Baking!<br /><br />DavidGood Things by Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582570273008694707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-39072046548954225682012-07-05T17:29:19.196-04:002012-07-05T17:29:19.196-04:00David, I suspect my oven IS too hot.

I know I screwed up somewhere while trying to sneak a batch of cookies while the baby was sleeping. I will definitely try again, and soon, because your cookies look so #$%@! delicious (and mine looked NOTHING like yours). I will keep you posted with the results. <br /><br />GinaGinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-43547185456054355542012-07-05T11:53:48.144-04:002012-07-05T11:53:48.144-04:00Anonymous, thank you for writing in. I just finis...Anonymous, thank you for writing in. I just finished baking these cookies this morning, because I wanted to retest them as a result of your note and because there was a type of choc chip I hadn't tried before. <br /><br />Thanks to you, I did lower my baking time window to 10-12 minutes. At 10 minutes they were a bit too pale for me and puffed up. At 11 minutes, they were pretty good and they had settled down. At 12 minutes, they were perfect for me. <br /><br />I got to thinking what could have gone wrong with your batch. My guess is your oven temperature or the type of cookie sheet you're using. Do you have an oven thermometer in your oven? Many times, ovens can be way off!<br /><br />The one thing, I must say, that these cookies are not is cakey. I've baked the recipe many times now (so have several of my friends) and they have never been cakey cookies (I personally don't like those too much either!). The edges and tops are crunchy and the middle is chewy-soft. Not puffy or floury. <br /><br />What I will certainly do is add the metric measurements for this cookie, so that you get the results I get here at home.<br /><br />I'm also writing up a troubleshooting cookie post on the blog which might help you get the cookies you desire. I'll add photos of the ones I baked this morning 7/5. <br /><br />I certainly hope your next batch is a good one!<br /><br />DavidGood Things by Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582570273008694707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-36099648742064752072012-07-04T19:47:37.354-04:002012-07-04T19:47:37.354-04:00David- I was SO excited when I saw this recipe as ...David- I was SO excited when I saw this recipe as I've been searching for the perfect choc chip cookies recipe for YEARS. However, mine do not look at all like the delicious photo on your blog. I followed the recipe to a T and mine came out kind of cakey (EXACTLY what I try to avoid!!!) Also, at 12 minutes, they came out too dark. Maybe too much flour? Maybe my cookie mojo isn't on today? I'll try again and let you know how they turn out.

When you're done making the dough, portion it out using an ice cream scoop onto 1 baking sheet and freeze the tray until the balls are solid. You can then place them in a zip top bag and keep them there until you're ready to bake. Don't thaw the dough--bake them straight from the freezer; simply add a few minutes to the baking time.<br /><br />Ah, as far as grams are concerned, you know I should try in the future to do that, as seeing I do have a lot of people from all over the world reading. OK, I will try and be diligent about this! <br /><br />Many thanks!Good Things by Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17582570273008694707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-83243600738376681662012-05-22T12:33:01.252-04:002012-05-22T12:33:01.252-04:00David - these look awesome.

You think that the dough could be made ahead of time and then refrigerated for a few days? <br /><br />Also, I'm in NYC, but for internationals, listing your ingredients in grams could be useful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3899947061109303715.post-16536109986876479342012-04-07T11:41:26.816-04:002012-04-07T11:41:26.816-04:00I'm flattered that someone all the way on the ...I'm flattered that someone all the way on the other side of the world & in a different hemisphere is reading my blog AND that they're making/enjoying/devouring one of my recipes!!!
