Just made those cookies...fantastic! I was skeptical till the very end until I tasted them. now I can fool myself with some "healthy whole wheat cookies"

Oh my goodness, Molly, I'm mortified! My mistake, obviously. (Thanks for catching it!) Yes, you added the chocolate at precisely the right time. I'll make the change.

Hi Jess,
I made these cookies -- finally -- tonight for a get-together we're having on Saturday night. I panicked a little when I realized the recipe doesn't actually say when to add the chocolate chips. I was worried Boyce had some sort of special technique or surprising moment when they were added. My husband calmed me down -- he can recite the recipe from the back of the Toll House chip bag just as sure as he can recite the Lord's Prayer -- so I added them at the presumed time. They are sitting in my fridge right now, waiting to be baked, but just in case, they're supposed to be added after the flour is just incorporated, before being scooped?
Hope all is well. Mia is beyond scrumptious. Can't get enough photos of her gorgeous eyes.

I've made them twice so far. Excellent flavor and tremendous texture both times.

The first time I dutifully followed the instruction to use parchment paper; the second time I forgot, and just baked them on an ungreased baking sheet. I didn't find any difference in the finished product. The second time I let them cool for around 10 minutes on the sheet, then stacked them up in a bowl to cool completely.

Also, if anyone is nervous about these tasting too whole-grainy, I made these for my husband's family, which is a 100% white flour type of crowd, and they all LOVED them. And I used regular whole wheat flour, not white whole wheat.

I can't find salt flakes! Could I use coarse salt, or is that a horrible idea?
Congratulations on your beautiful baby!

first you bowl me over with adorable-to-die-for baby pictures (congrats!!!!) and then I keep scrolling only to find what is described as expletive inducing chocolate chip cookies. You can rest assure that your post was worth sending out into the blog-o-sphere scene because I had never seen or heard of these magical cookies before. I just baked my first batch. They are perfect. Not as perfect as that little bundle of joy that you just welcomed into the world, but they are pretty close. thank you thank you!

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

2011-09-21T12:03:50.112-04:00

I had a similar experience to yours. My jaw dropped when I tasted the batter. Pre-baking! I think i was so shocked b/c I expected whole wheat cookies to taste like health food. Now, I'm convinced it's the only way to bake them. And everyone asks for the recipe when I make them too!

2011-09-18T18:53:51.036-04:00

I don't know why I was skeptical , but I was wrong. As a former tate's recipe fan I'm converted. I used chips and doubled the amount and perfection. Will be my go to recipe although I should hide it so I don't make them every day!

2011-09-07T13:31:34.764-04:00

Just recently I was baking these cookies almost every day. And I must admit I didn't bake off a cookie or two from the dough resting and aging in the fridge, I baked them all, a little over twenty of the beggars in the course of one day. And then I made them again. I couldn't reason what I was doing. There is no will power involved when these whole wheat chocolate chip lovelies are around. I had to make a serious effort to swear off them for a little while, just, you know, to catch my breath.

2011-09-06T23:15:27.253-04:00

Made these tonight - yum, good thing I only baked 2 tonight and put the rest of the dough in the refrigerator or I would have ate way too many!

I discovered these cookies through Molly too, they're pretty spectacular. So spectacular, my colleague's 4 year old daughter deemed them the Bestest Cookies in the Whole World!

Imagine a little girl coming home from school with her book bag in tow to find one of these cookies warm from the oven accompanied by a cold glass of milk waiting for her. Munching away, telling her mom about her day --- heaven!! It's one of the images this cookie conjures up for me. Love the cookie, love you!

2011-09-03T15:52:18.652-04:00

Yes! Another convert to the most perfect chocolate chip cookies in the world. Keep spreading the word, my friend.
Also, I do like to think we are a scene.

These are pretty much the best cookies ever, I've determined. I am patiently waiting for Kim's next book. Hope the pregnancy is treating you well!

2011-09-03T00:38:33.561-04:00

Oy. I feel like a flunkee. I made these cookies. I did not love them. I only barely liked them. Maybe I made some terrible mistake? Probably, I need to try again. Yes, given the source, probably, most definitely.

Welcome bake, Jess. (Ho! I actually mis-typed that. You know what I meant. Well, probably both.)

Ok gotta tell you, I have NOT heard of these cookies, and I am VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW to have discovered them! I'm convinced that whole wheat flour is the key to everything great, seriously. I CANNOT WAIT to try these! Thank you thank you :) ~Melissa

2011-09-02T17:22:21.420-04:00

I spend way too much of my life reading cooking/baking blogs, and have never heard of these cookies. Must be one of Molly's that I missed.

They sound great; I will try them.

Yes, you guys are most definitely 'a scene'!
