I just pulled these out of the oven and they are really good! (I’ve already eaten two.) I added a bit of chopped caramel which surprisingly worked. Also, toasting the pecans makes them so much better so don’t skip that step.

I just baked these up this morning, but instead of chocolate chips, I used chopped Scharffen Berger 62% chocolate. They are delicious and I can’t wait to share them with my coworkers. I cook and bake regularly and post results on facebook. A lot of my friends have asked me to start a blog, but I just tell them that since my recipes mostly come from you, they should just visit your site! Thanks for all the recipes and baking therapy!

I’ve baked these twice and they are a revelation- it’s hard to decide if I prefer these or Jacques Torres’ chocolate chip cookies (adapted by David Leite). Both are amazing.

and for those who had a problem with flat, greasy cookies, I used a couple of TBSP LESS butter than the recipe, and baked for thirteen minutes, not eighteen.

I’m a huge fan of your site, and so far you haven’t steered me wrong… I’ve made these cookies about ten times, and they turn out wonderfully! My little brother always tells me I’m the “best sister in the world” when he smells these baking in the oven. Keep up the good work, these are a hit with my family and friends!

OMG…..I remember this cookie recipe from WAY back! I was just a kid and watched the original cookie shop (which will remain nameless) owners make this recipe on a local SF talk show and. I made them all through high school and then kinda moved on to baking other things. As I type, I have a cookie sheet full of them in the oven. They are just as I remember them. Yum! So glad I ran across your blog! TY!

while i really like david lebovitz and most of his recipes, i’m not feeling these cookies AT ALL. it’s not the proportion of dough to chocolate that might put some people off, it’s the proportion of butter to flour. i used toasted chopped walnuts, chopped chocolate from a ghiradelli bar, chilled the batter overnight and i found them to be flat. and greasy.

not my style for a ccc… i won’t be making these again.

I made these today, and the results were not at all what I had hoped. The cookies were spongy, flat, not chewy or crispy at all. Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong?
