Just a quick entry this time. I made these cookies in parallel with J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe, since I wanted to try a little something different from the usual. The cookies turned out just fine, but I think my personal tastes run toward something less sweet and more chewy. Still, if you like a chocolatey, very sweet, brownie-like cookie, this recipe is worth a try.
