I tried this recipe several times and for me a 2 oz portion works best. In case anyone is interested I compared this cookie against 9 other popular CC cookies on this page: http://www.thegrinninggourmet.com/?page_id=178. Thanks for the post.

I finally got around to baking these cookies after more than a year since I first read the article. Although I love the salt in the World Peace Cookies, I agree that it didn't taste good in these ccc's. I think my next ccc experiment will be Alton Brown's the Chewy.

I just made these cookies a few days ago, and then stumbled across your blog today. I totally agree about the salt thing. It was a strange taste to have salt on top of my cookies. I left it off the rest of them and preferred them that way.
It’s funny, I used the same Ghirardelli chips that you did, and the taste was superb. I don’t know what it is about the recipe, but these cookies were amazing, so I’m not planning to make any other changes to it. If I want cookies right away I will use a different recipe. The refrigeration time is crucial to this recipe. I noticed huge differences in taste and color depending on how long the dough was refrigerated.
If you haven’t tried these yet, I highly recommend them. It’s like getting cookies from a gourmet bakery.

I’ve heard about these but haven’t made them yet. That’s a good thing to know about the sea salt cause I don’t think I’d like that either.

If you’re not letting the dough sit, and not doing the salt on top, and not using the chocolate disks… there’s not much else that’s special about the recipe, except making the cookies larger than usual. And using the two different kinds of flour, which is the one thing I’ll let go as soon as I use up the bread flour I bought for these.

I made them pretty much as instructed, and they are far and away the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve had (or made).

When I make them again, I’ll take into consideration how much time I have, and what ingredients I have on hand, and who will eat them, and maybe make changes for those reasons, but I do understand the thinking behind the Times’s recipe.

These sound like the perfect cookies to make during the holidays, when you’re already baking a billion things and letting something sit for a few days won’t matter much.

Thanks!

I have been holding out on making these, mainly because I do not know how I will explain to my toddler that he will have to wait 36 hours for cookies. However, I keep seeing such tasty looking photos that I might need to make the dough when he is sleeping and stash it way back in the fridge. They look too tempting to pass up.

Gorgeous photos!

When I baked mine I did some at 24hr and some at 48hr and some at 72hr. I personally don’t get the hype… I’m sure others do

Have a delicious day!

Why smoke a brisket for 16 hours? Why let ham cure for months? Because minor things happen that create magic.

Trust me, I understand not wanting to wait. Half of my test batch didn’t make it past the 12 hour mark. Still, next time you get the craving for a good chocolate chip cookie … try the 36 hours. You’ll be happy.
