Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Best I’ve Ever Made

February 10, 2020December 21, 2022 Jeff the Chef

I stumbled across this Jacques Torres recipe at Martha Stewart. Though it specifies bittersweet or semisweet, milk chocolate would be just as delicious. A combination of bread and pastry flour (maybe a touch of whole wheat), plus the secret of refrigerating the dough (thank you, NY Times), makes these cookies chewy, beautiful, and texturally interesting.

"Kolachy," from Make It Like a Man!

Polish Kolachy Like Grandma’s

December 11, 2017December 21, 2022 Jeff the Chef

This recipe produces the Polish kolachy that grandma made back in the day: cream cheese pastry dough with jam, jelly, or preserves (or maybe nuts) for filling, sprinkled with powdered sugar. It’s thought of as a Christmas cookie, but it’s really more of a two-bite pastry. I’ll show you how to do it.
