Amazing cookies! But one avenue you forgot to explore in pursuit of the ultimate cookie is flour types. All purpose is what I used for making cookies for years until someone explained that by having a higher protein flour like bread flour in your dough you can have add more moisture, hence making chewier cookies. Definitely something I recommend looking into Babish! :)

I found (on accident )that when hand mixing the recipe from your cookbook, if you whip the butter and sugar, fold in the dry ingredients carefully, and add the eggs when it almost starts to become a shaggy bunch of stuff and finish mixing carefully, the cookies don't spread so thin. I don't understand the science behind it, but its what works best for me without the stand mixer.

A cool trick i use in my cookies is when i am done browning the butter instead of just throwing in water ice cubes, i toss in 1-2 coffee ice cubes i make prior along with a teaspoon of instant coffee (Trust me among all the other strong flavours in my cookies it's not overpowering). instead of adding granulated salt i like to mix in a small handful of himalyan pink rock salt so you get more concentrated pops of salt among all the other flavours going on, maybe some toasted nuts, and of course a nice mix of dark and mild chocolate. You get toasted nuttiness, chocolatiness, toffeelike, mocha like salty cookie. quite nice

I’m making the dough right now and it smells incredible. Thank you for explaining the proper way to brown butter. Two things about the recipe as it prints out from the website: -vanilla extract is a listed ingredient but never mentioned in the instructions -it would be easier to follow the recipe if the ingredients were listed in order of which they are used. The vanilla extract is listed within the dry ingredients. I can’t wait to see how these turn out, and I look forward to having fun with the different inclusions. Thank you for sharing 💙

baking powder is baking soda mixed with cornstarch and cream of tar tar. cream of tar tar is used in candy making it keeps sugar from crystalizing and hardening. cornstarch gives a shew, and baking soda has a reaction with the cream of tar tar which fyi is an acid, and that's why it makes things rise.

I baked a batch cookies right after I finished making the dough and some cookies 48 hours later and the difference in taste and texture was crazy. The 1st batch just tasted like your run of the mill cookies but the 48 hour cookies were crispier and was more chewy on the inside but had more flavor than the 1st batch.

My favorite cookie uses a basic chocolate chip base, but it has the light brown sugar switched out for dark brown sugar. The butter swapped out for brown butter. Then, make it into a white chip macadamia nut cookie that spreads out nicely in the oven for a soft chewy cookie with crispy edges. These changes also make a great chocolate chip cookie if you use mini chocolate chips and only half the amount that your standard tolehouse recipe calls for. This keeps it from being too chocolaty and still gets a bit of chocolate in every bite.

They're EXTREMELY rich so I can't make them that often, but this recipe is one I'll definitely bring again next time my friends come over (I went with normal chopped dark, milk and white chocolate for the additions, and the white becomes crunchy and delicious, super recommend)

But why would you skip on the buttermilk?
