my personal cookie baking hack: fold the parchment paper in half the long way and in half again. Then fold that in half and in half again.... When you open up the paper you have lines for where the cookies dough balls should be without having to think about proper spacing. And thanks for another great recipe.

The way my parchment comes out it tends to roll, so this is necessary anyway just to get it lying flat. Nice suggestion, to space things that way.

Made these today to surprise my husband for Christmas, and they turned out delicious! Very rich and chocolaty. And it made so many cookies. I used a tablespoon to scoop, so each dough ball was just a bit smaller than the ones in the video, and we ended up with 50 cookies! Definitely adding this to my recipe book. Thanks for such a great video!

The thing I liked most is that he explains what's the purpose of every ingredient and step of the recipe, so you learn and know how u can use it in other recipes! 👏

Thanks for making a chocolate cookie with no chill time. I teach high school culinary and we have 1:30 mins to make, eat and clean up. This would be perfect for class.

Been making this recipe for years! They're fantastic. And a single recipe yields sooooo many cookies

my only gripe is the use of baking soda. Because the dutch cocoa is processed to be alkaline, there isn't the typical acid you get with cocoa powder to react to the baking soda and actually make the dough rise. So the baking soda is having little to no effect, which is also probably why they are "fudgy" on the inside. I would either omit it or swap it to baking powder, but haven't tested that recipe.

Meanwhile Baking powder is baking soda + tartar (acid). Your cookie will rise more, and it's activated while baking. You only need less baking baking powder compared to baking soda.

For fluffier cake like cookies, you have to add a little bit less sugar, a little bit less butter, a little bit more flour, and a little bit more than leavener, in this case baking soda. This works with all cookie recipes. Bonus points if you chill or freeze the dough before hand….it solidifies the butter so the cookie flattens less. Enjoy.
