Cookie Monster!
I have been sitting on this post for awhile, though I have no idea why. It's not like my life of saving the world is so busy that I cannot take a little time to write. So today I have put a hold on my other extracurricular activities and decided I will do this. Because this is a great cookie recipe. Granted I am no Betty Crocker, but I truly enjoyed working on this recipe and even my mess ups of baking for a bit too long and putting to many on a sheet pan that resulted in some big connected globs of cookies were delicious.
I actually made this recipe twice in a one week period. Discovered through Tasting Table, the actual recipe come from David Lebovitz and his latest book Ready for Dessert: My Best Recipes. I just knew I had to try my hand at making homemade cookies, and I was not disappointed. But the first time I ended up with my cookies exuding into each other's space and performing a little hanky panky with each other, which ended with these results:
I also put the cookies in for a little too long for my liking. I am someone that like my cookies crispy on the edges and soft in the middle.
So the second time around I became a factory line cookie backing machine. Rotating shelves and trays, which resulted in a more uniform shape and better texture.
In the second batch I also added in a bit of cinnamon which I really liked. And I think you could just add the cinnamon, and leave out the chocolate to have one mean snickerdoodle recipe. I also liked that I did half semi-sweet and bitter-sweet instead of just one or the either. It was a great combination that gave richness and depth to the cookie. But all in all you should give this recipe a try (see below). The results are delicious.
