This is our most-favorite-of-all-time-in-the-history-of-everything Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. It’s from the New York Times. You may have heard about it or tried it, too? Before you rush to the kitchen and make this, though, please note that you need to let the dough rest 24-36 hours. We know. We know!! It’s hard to wait that long (and we’ve been known to only let it rest for 12 hours), but we promise it’s worth it.

We adapted this recipe only in that we use bittersweet chocolate chunks rather than the fèves they call for and we use a regular, large cookie scoop rather than shaping them in 3 1/2 oz mounds. We love making these in the comfort of our PUNJAMMIES™ and singing along to good tunes with our family. We hope you and your family and friends love these as much as we do!
