    These cookies never disappoint. I stayed true to the recipe except for using semi sweet mini chocolate chips in place of the bar chocolate. I've made it both ways to equal enjoyment, it comes down to what I have on hand. I bake for 11 minutes total with a rotation of cookie sheet at the 7 minute mark. I stick to the 45g cookie size and its perfect. YUM

    These are certainly good while still warm from the oven...we'll see about tomorrow because at 9 minutes (the middle range of times she gives), there was no way they were done. I used a mix of semisweet & dark chocolate chips and I followed her instructions for brown butter from the "Extras" chapter. And, like almost every other time I've made brown butter, it took longer than suggested.

    This has become my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe and it's forgiving too. I've accidentally added the entire 2nd egg instead of just the yolk and they still taste great. I've used chocolate wafers, chopped chocolate, and chocolate chips with success. These are also great when you have random bags of chocolate to use up. I also freeze the dough balls and let them sit at room temp while the oven preheats. They bake an extra minute or so but otherwise works out great when the craving for a fresh cookie hits.

    Make these when you want a little cookie with your chocolate. My oven was acting up, so we accidentally overbaked them, although I think they still would have taken longer than stated. The cookie sampled warm was great, but after cooling was harder than ideal. They will be great freezer cookies, warmed in the microwave. Next time I will probably use a little less chocolate.

    How does Ms. Kieffer do it! Every cookie I have baked from this cookbook is amazing, and this one is no exception. They are home baked cookies at their best. Nothing complex-just pure deliciousness.

    Loved these! if you don’t eat them all, and you need to store them, I’d freeze after a day or so. I found they are best warm anyway, and when stored for a few days got soft quickly and weren’t as good. See commenter below that it’s fine to use fridge cold butter since you’re browning it anyway and that heat will melt and soften the other half when it’s added eventually. That was helpful and a time saver! I used dark chocolate guittard bars and one hersheys chocolate bar (gotta love a good high low moment, ha) and it was the right combination of sweet and dark. Don’t skip the flaky salt at the end either!

    Actually, my daughter cooked this when she was home from college and I was helping out at the Covid-19 urgent care all day and just wanted to get home and out of my germy scrubs and my car broke down on the way home. I got home, and there were the most amazing cookies. :) Just delicious.

    These are fabulous. I used chocolate chips as that's what I had on hand and they worked well. I baked for 9 minutes and they were very soft, exactly how I like my cookies.

    Delicious! She doesn’t make it clear in the recipe (in fact, she calls for soft butter), but you can actually make these with butter straight out of the fridge, since you brown most of the butter, then use that to melt the rest. I baked them for 9 minutes, and they are in fact crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, as she said they would be. (I really like that she gives ranges of baking times to nail the texture you want!) I’m not sure these will replace my previous favorites (from Seven Spoons - I’ll have to do a taste test!) but I really enjoyed these. (Did taste test at Christmas - these didn't go well at Lizzy's.)

    These were the first cookies I made from this book and they are just delicious. I especially loved that I could make them on a whim, as the dough didn't require any chilling.

    This is the first recipe I tried out of 100 Cookies. The recipe was easy to follow, and the resulting cookies were AH-MAZING. I got closer to 24 cookies out of the recipe using the recommended 45g size.
