Hands down the BEST CC cookie recipe! Alton Brown is awesome at breaking down the science of cooking! Whatever you do, use the Kosher salt and not table salt. Made that mistake the first time. Makes all the difference.

I purchased a kitchen scale from Food Network's store and received a FREE DVD of Alton Brown's Sweet Treats that included the full episode of all 3 chocolate chip cookie recipes (and ice cream. I have baked cookies for many years but watching the episode completely changed how I understood cookies! I LOVE chewy cookies so I made this recipe first. Turned out GREAT! I love to eat cookie dough, so I can say the dough AND the cookies are awesome! I put a few more cookies on at a time - 9 per stone - and they come out perfectly. A friend suggested freezing the dough balls for times of stress, and boy was she right! Freeze about 5 balls and eat when you need a moment for yourself. : These are truly terrific cookies -- As another user said, I will NOT need another chocolate chip cookie recipe!

Best recipe ever! The recipe listed on the website is exactly the same as the one in the video so that may have been corrected at some point. I followed this recipe to the letter and I will never make a different chocolate chip cookie recipe again - the search is over! I only cooked one tray at a time - I was at home with the kids so no hurry to get them baked. With one tray in the oven they took 11 minutes - as Alton says, the more trays in the oven the longer the cook time.

SEE VIDEO before making these, the recipe posted on the website is not the same as the video. I followed the ingredients amount of the video and fallowed the instructions from the recipe posted and they came out great.

*Carefull not to bake these for more than 12 minutes or they will start to get crispy on the edges.

Simply delicious! Easy to make. I slightly overcooked the first badge. Left in the oven for about 18 minutes. So the first round turned out a but hard. However, I baked the second round for exactly 15 mins and the cookies were perfect! I mixed dark brown sugar with light brown sugar, so they were perfectly chewie for my taste. Thank you Alton!

Way too sweet for my taste! I officially feel like I am going to fall into a sugar comma. And while I do enjoy a sweet dessert, this was too overpowering. I followed the exact recipe and the consistency was too loose causing them to spread very thin. They also tasted too buttery. Overall not well balanced.

There is a slight error in the NEW VERSION OF THE CHEWY RECIPE.
Use 18 oz., 2 -1/4C , Bread Flour, NOT the 12 oz that is listed.
If you watch the video attached to the "Chewy" recipe Alton correctly states the measurements as he makes the cookie dough.
Increasing the bread flour will provide you with phenomenal chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Use dark brown sugar it makes a delicious difference. They do bake up a little darker if you use dark brown sugar. The cookies turn out looking much better then the ones in the photo.
If you want the original recipe for the "Chewy" look up "Three cookies for sister Marsha" from Good Eats, year 2000 online.

If you use the original recipe they turn out very tasty. If you do not they turn out bad.

I followed the recipe to the tee, Unfortunately the cookies that I made where a complete disaster. at the 10 minute mark my first batch burnt completely. Then the second and third batch I only kept in the oven for 6-8 minutes and they where still raw in the middle and the outside of the cookies started showing some darkening. Very let down by this recipe.

If it was possible to rate this recipe LOWER I would. Followed all instructions, measured by weight not volume, and got huge flat crispy oily disks. Disgusting.
