I don't think two cookies just straight up disappearing is all that minor.

Here we are, almost 16 months later. That sourdough video you two collaborated on was the gateway to my wife becoming a baking ninja. I personally thank you for that, while my waistline would like to extend two robust middle fingers.

I look forward to trying out this cookie recipe.

This is the cinematic crossover we have been waiting for. Love seeing my two FoodTubers together!

I am 63, a pretty good cook, have been making chocolate chip cookies since I was a child, and I heard a noise at 2 am this morning and my 16 year old grand daughter was making the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten. I was out of sugar so she substituted monk fruit and my oven wasn’t heating up so she used my air fryer/toaster oven. This teenager has some mad baking skills.

Thank I followed this recipe, the cookies were delicious. I didn't have cake flour, so instead, I used self raising flour. I also used 125 g of walnuts instead (I didn't have more) of 165 g. The dough was 1360 g, which means 11 cookies at 170 gr/ 6 oz each with that fascinating rustic look. I used 2 spoons to weigh each cookie, I never touched the dough. The cookies were I chilled each cookie dough for 48 hrs before baking. Taste, color, flavor, texture, were rich, tall cookie, crispy from the outside and melts in the mouth from the inside. Thank you very much for the the best cookies I've ever I have a very small oven 30 cm x 30 cm, I only bake one cookie at a time, I preheated the oven for 11 minutes at 220C and baked one cookie for 16 minutes at the highest rack of my oven, it came out Thank you again!!!!

Making these today since the hurricane rained out my job for the day. Didn't have kosher salt so hopefully they'll still be as good! Been saving this recipe for a while now and just have made them. Thank you.

Cakeflour doesn’t exist in some countries so here is a substitute
Step 1: Measure 1 cup all-purpose flour. Remove 2 Tablespoons.

Step 2: Measure 2 Tablespoons cornstarch. Add to the flour. Cornstarch contains less gluten than flour, so it’s a wonderful tenderizing ingredient to help make cake flour.

Step 3: Sift together TWICE. Basically, sift into a mixing bowl once. Then run it through the sifter one more time. Sifting not only mixes the two ingredients together appropriately, it aerates the mixture so the consistency is similar to real cake flour.

Step 4: Measure 1 cup from this mixture. You’ll have about 1 cup anyway, but sometimes sifting can produce more volume since it’s adding air.

People like Joshua and Babish have fuelled my taste for cooking, them working together is like a wet dream of cooking for me.

It's such a shame my gran passed away in 1979 these were her cookies you reverse engineered a great brand to basically crack that unicorn of my grandmother's recipe I reverse engineered it over 10 years ago and I am so grateful for this recipe that you have come up with. My grand would come over with a big green tupperware container filled with these cookies every time she visited Us in Orange California all the way from Los Angeles California for her that was a big trip but she always gave us a great smile and US grandkids were very grateful and I'm very grateful to all your work that you put into this thank you so very much for this share.
