Chocolate chunk cookies from Barefoot Contessa Parties!: Ideas and Recipes for Easy Parties That Are Really Fun (page 235) by Ina Garten

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    The chocolate chip cookies of my childhood. An excellent thin, chewy cookie with crispy edges.

    This is my go to cookie recipe. I whip the butter a little longer than the recipe indicates to get the cookie texture I like. I make whole batch and then scoop and freeze so we can make just a couple cookies at a time. We sprinkle with flaky salt when baking. Guittard semisweet chocolate chips really make these even better.

    I made these a bit smaller (approx 22 g of dough / cookie) and so baked each tray for around 10 - 11 minutes. I used pecans in place of walnuts and I chopped up semi-sweet baking chocolate....keeping it down to around 4 oz (for a 1/2 recipe) because I do believe there IS such a thing as too much chocolate :) These are really good cookies.

    Half the recipe yielded 17 cookies. Baked at 350 convection, the cookies were done in 9-10 minutes. They were delicious, probably because they were packed with chocolate.

    A great recipe to freeze. Use a small ice cream scoop to make the cookies and freeze them in a container. When ready for a few, simply place on a tray frozen and bake as directed.
