I also love King Arthur Baking products and recipes and I already have this one marked to try. I also wanted to ask if you've seen Recipes for Love and Murder, Acorn (I have it through Prime). The first season is available and a second season has begun shooting. It's about a woman who answers readers' letters seeking advice and always adds a cooking or baking recipe as part of the advice, while helping to solve a murder mystery. It's placed and filmed in South Africa which adds different landscapes and ingredients to the recipes and shows the different cultures and customs. It's in a similar vein as DeadLoch.

Thanks for the movie tip.

For the record, the great people at King Arthur Baking in Norwich, VT are fun to hangout with. I have gone over there for a couple of baking classes (and shopping and eating in the cafe) and they are awesome!

Browning the butter is the go-to move for chocolate chip cookies and brownies, and tahzong sounds very intriguing! Living in sunny San Diego now, I truly miss a good old 'snow day'. But today is the next best thing- a rain day- ideal for baking, cooking, reading, or if I'm fidgety- cleaning out a closet!

I love seeing your dog. Having just lost my 14+ yo pup: In the immortal words of Warren Zevon - “enjoy every sandwich,” and every snowflake, and - of course - every cookie❤️

From one Warren Zevon fan to another, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am on King Arthur's mailing list and like it, but when they post a cookie recipe I just figure, nah I'll make one of Marissa's. So King Arthur should be glad you posted this!

Awww, I'm baking cookies now and was just looking for a chocolate chip cookie to add to my collection I'm taking for a "coffee hour" tomorrow (sometimes stronger drinks too). When I saw it needs 24 hours, I can't do it for now. I'll look at your other chocolate chip cookie recipes and go from there. Bosco is livin' the good life in the snow!

This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever used, and I’ve used a fair few. The only problem is the size! My wife can only eat half of one of the larger suggested sizes, and the rest of the family want the gigantic sized cookies. I made both the 95g and the 45(50?)g cookies, and they lasted a total of three days for my family of 4.

Sounds very similar to Claire Saffritz method. (Less tahzong) has anyone made both KA and CS?

These chocolate chip cookies do sound like they could qualify for the very best chocolate chip cookie. The recipe steps can make one faint (in a good way)

So Bosco is a snow sleeper? He js a something else!

Thank you for this recipe, Marissa. King Arthur's 2015 cookie of the year is also good (has oatmeal). Speaking of oatmeal, last light I made oatmeal cookies from the recipe on the box; but I added dried cherries, walnuts, and chocolate chips. I forgot the cinnamon but they were still good. Love your pup ❤️

I made the dough and it is “resting” and this will be like an intermittent fast to see how long I can actually let it rest. It smells like Nirvana and tastes like caramel. Stay tuned. The tahzong was fun to make and browning butter is such an amazing process - again the distinct change in aroma and voila! Such great chemistry

I finally made these. Oh My. So much for losing a couple of pounds this week. The delay is worth it. Happy week to you, Marissa.

I have a brown butter chocolate chip cookie recipe that I really like (Joy the Baker), but this one sounds like it really ups the odds. I believe I'll save it for a procrastibaking session—sounds perfect for that!

I’m very intrigued. I’m not an inexperienced baker but I never heard of browning butter until I met you and I don’t believe I ever thanked you for that 😊
