yup. I'm drooling. and in love with Joanne Chang (the 'enterer' of this cookie recipe). Thanks!

What?

You want the recipe too?

That's understandable. They look pretty fantastic.

Fine. You can have it too.

Here it is:

Joanne Chang's Chocolate Chip Cookies (from Joanne Chang)

1 c. unsalted butter

3/4 c. light brown sugar

3/4 c. white sugar

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla (I added this)

2 eggs

1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour

1 c. bread flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 c. chopped semisweet chocolate (I used 1 c. semisweet chocolate chips)

1/2 c. finely chopped milk chocolate (I used 1 c. chopped Hershey's kisses)



Beat the butter and sugars until mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
Mix together the flours, baking soda, and salt. Add both chocolates to the flour mix and toss to combine. Slowly blend the flour-chocolate mixture into the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until the flour and chocolate are totally incorporated and the dough is completely mixed.
For best results, scrape dough into a container and let rest in the refrigerator for a day before baking. The next day, heat the oven to 350F and position a rack in the center of the oven. Drop the dough in 1/4-cup balls onto a baking sheet about two inches apart. Press dough balls down slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake until cookies are golden brown on the edges and slightly soft in the center, 15-18 min (I used about 2 Tbsp. dough for each cookie and baked them for 12 min.). Remove from oven and let cool.

wow. I'm now devoting my life to the glorious skill of creating Chocolate Chip Cookies.
