tara o'brady is a genius; her recipe has never failed me. not to mention, who doesn't like a chocolate chip cookie?!
nb: i highly recommend aging your cookie dough in the fridge for 12+ hours before baking because it just makes the final result that much better

sally never disappoints! the keys are: using chopped chocolate, browning your butter, and letting your cookie dough chill in the fridge.
chopped chocolate creates amazing pools of melty chocolate, brown butter adds a depth of flavor, and chilling the dough keeps the inside soft while the outside gets crispy

My everyday recipe is by Preppy Kitchen. If I have time I like to brown the butter first. The biggest tip though is to let the cookie dough sit in the fridge overnight before baking. I know that sounds impossible but there is science behind it and the difference is huge. Here's Kenji Lopez from the Food Lab's explanation on why:
"An overnight rest allows enzymes to break down large carbohydrates, enhancing the caramelization and browning process the next day to help the cookies develop deeper flavor."
Godspeed good luck on the cookies 🫡

not specifically a christmas cookie but i make these around christmas. the chocolate chip to flour ratio is wild lol
1 cup unsalted butter - room temperature
3/4 cup + 1tbsp granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1 & 1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup of rolled oats
1/4 tsp cinnamon
2 & 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 & 2/3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 & 3/4 cups chopped nuts (pecans recommended)
mix together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. beat in eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. blend in flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. fold in chocolate chips & chopped nuts (it will be absurdly difficult). refrigerate dough overnight. scoop & bake at 300F for ~20 minutes*
*they don’t spread if you refrigerate the dough for 24 hours & keep the remaining dough refrigerated as you’re baking them. also, i make the dough balls big (like a scoop of ice cream) & bake 8 at a time, so they can take several minutes longer than 20 minutes 😅 it’s a little time consuming but worth it imo

i miss having seeing a friend on campus and running small errands with them. as you get older these things become less of a thing, but when it happens, it’s glorious.
