Ohh, thank you so much for coming back and updating me on that, that’s so awesome! I’m glad you love the recipe as much as we did 🙂 I just looked up Alice Medrich’s chocolate chip cookies recipe and it looks really similar to one I’d been using for a while before, *great* texture and taste! It’s also not far off from what I developed with the thick & chewy ones, although it looks like there’s slightly more butter and a few other differences. I always love reading your comments because I feel like I’ve jumped right into your kitchen history. Glad you’re still finding these cookie recipes a hit, and yes–do try my favorite recipe!

As for yield, I find it varies just because I can be so sporadic with my dough ball size–but generally around 3 dozen? (Erk, I sort of flinched b/c I don’t want to give a wrong estimate, but I feel like that’s what I got….sorry, I’ll have to go through my notes and check if I can, it’s been a while! haha)

Our favorite for years has been Alice Medrich’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, which we made with Hershey’s Special Dark chips. As with your pudding recipe, there’s a resting period (overnight, in fact), and the melted butter-based dough is made in a saucepan — very caramelly and chewy. But we’re finding your Pudding cookies a marvelous new take. I’ll try your Thick and Chewy ones soon!

By the way, how many cookies do you usually get out of a batch of your recipe? There’s no quantity listed…

SO glad to hear you and your coworkers loved it! This is one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes–if you liked these I’d also recommend my recipes for My Favorite Thick & Chewy CCC, as well as My Favorite Peanut Butter Puffy Cookies. They’re wonderful in a completely different way. Thanks for reporting back, it’s great to have you around!

Oh, man, it happens to the best of ’em! Anyway, made the cookies, they were a HUGE hit, had to make them again, now these are being taken to work tomorrow and I’ll have to make a third batch. Absolutely delicious. I’m reducing the amount of chocolate chips in this third batch, because of the comments I’ve gotten is that the cakey cookie is so good, they want more of it in each bite of chocolate. 🙂 Thank you!

How has nobody (including me) never caught that before? Thanks for pointing that out–and hope you enjoy some really great cookies! Glad you could give them a go.

Aww, thank you! It really didn’t take much know-how (I’m terrible with tech), just a knack for Googling things and plenty of patience 😉 that’s about all the “talent” I have, and I bet you could do it as well. Thank you for stopping by, Laura!

I totally agree! I was actually just browsing through your site the other day because I think it’s drop-dead gorgeous, so I can totally see the benefits now. (Plus, it’s just so much fun to fiddle around with.) Thank you for stopping by, Aimee! Great namesakes must think alike!
