It "only" took me 10 years to crank the thing out. lol! In truth, a catering client recently called and part of her food request was chocolate chip cookies for her grandkids so I decided to try something new, ran across your recipe suggestion, and promptly went to the Martha Stewart web site and grabbed Jacques Torres' recipe. Those cookies were so good that a couple days after baking Barbara's order (half recipe), I stirred up a half batch for my DH & me. SUPERB!
