"Big-City" Bakery Chocolate Chip Cookies?
I know chocolate chip cookies is a rather mundane topic.....but, I've found EXCEPTIONAL chocolate chip cookies at bakeries. First, I though that it was only in Chicago. Now I live in Boston (MetroWest, anyway) and I've found the SAME cookies. Does anyone have a recipe and technique to share?
The cookies: NO gluten development that I can feel. They fall apart in your mouth. Very light, when they do so. The shape is a bit odd in that they don't taper to the edge much, at all. Very cylindrical, that way. The surface has little shallow cracks. Nicely sweet flavor.
Does anyone else know the cookie(s) that I am talking about? Better yet, does anyone know how to make them!
I hope to hear many suggestions!
