Hi Sarah,

I think it’s unnecessary to use the cake/bread flour. Plain flour works just as well, and we’re more likely to have it in the pantry!

Those cookies look delicious and are so prettily wrapped! The New York Times chocolate chip cookie is my absolute adored comfort food…seems identical to your recipe but using plain flour instead of cake/bread flour, wonder if there’s a reason you made that change?

Bit late, but just wanted to let you know that I made these along with your brown sugar biscuits for Christmas. I decided to make homemade hampers as presents for my picky family. Worked a treat, they all got gobbled down quick smart.

Keep up the good (delicious & pretty) work! x

I just made these - Delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe! Only, I used really coarse raw sugar. Need to find a finer raw sugar for next time. But, they were still wonderful! I made one recipe - I made approx. (30) golf-ball size balls and then squished them down to about 1/2″ thick before baking. They turned out fairly large - about 4″ across - (I only baked 5 cookies per baking sheet) but a great size!
For american measurements - 600g. of chocolate chips is roughly 21 oz. Then, preheat your oven to 350.

Leah, I think it depends how big you want your batches of cookies to be … make the balls of dough to suit the amount of cookies you want to cook at each time.

Defrost as normal - take them out of the freezer the night before, or the morning before you want to bake it.

Sarah just found some dough at the freezer from last year - it was still delicious!

This dough has been tempting me for days in my fridge - now I have a question about freezer storage. ‘Rolled into balls’, how small a ball are we talking here? And what is the defrosting process, and does frozen dough have a lifespan?

About to take first batch out of the oven…

Hi Lara - I guess it does depend on how hard you love - they shouldn’t look like balls after the love blessing. They should be flat-ish.

Okay I just made these, and they taste delicious! The only thing is they dont look even close to yours (that old chestnut).. more specifically not nearly that thin. were they meant to spread out more in the oven? or did you squish yours a little more than a little ‘love blessing’ with a wooden spoon?
I am determined to perfect them with the rest of the dough i have saved in the freezer!

I can’t wait to try these, they look just gorgeous! I usually rely on brownies as a study incentive, but I have just found a new study partner!
