I just wanted to let you know that I made these cookies and they turned out great! I love the crisp outside and chewy middle. Not to mention the taste of the kosher salt.

You are a genius for tweaking this recipe! My husband begged me to make them (I’m not a super sweets fan), and I am incredibly happy I did. I used Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate and a whole 2 t pure vanilla extract (double strength) from Penzey’s spices. The cookies were miraculous 5 min out of the oven.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I said I would be back and here I am. This recipe was a puzzler. Most important,it is very, very good. I would make it again and again.

Mine did not spread very much which is not a problem but following your directions on spacing, I thought it would. First batch, I only cooked for 8 minutes and they were done. In the second batch, I started checking in six minutes.

I experimented and made most of them on my regular cookie sheets and made three on or in my cast iron skillet. They were done quickly and spread out more and were more moist on the top.

Each cookie tasted great and I was stealing one, whenever I was in that direction, something, I usually do not do.

I love how beautifully the dough handled.

I love that you took Alton’s recipe on. Quite a challenge but the mark of a true baker. I am looking forward to making these.

These sound and look irresistable! I love your addition of lemon juice for chewiness- I have never heard of doing that before.
