These chocolate chip cookies are pretty much perfect. My recipe adds Cook for Good twists to the excellence of David Leite’s famous NY Times Chocolate Chip Cookies. Now they are healthier, thriftier, greener, and still conversation-stopping good. Think melting chocolate, buttery dough, crisp outside, and tender inside.

This could be just the recipe you need to delight […]
