When King Arthur Flour employees declare something their "favorite," you have a sense you are about to embark on a fantastic baking journey. While I am not sure if the KAF description matched my experience, I did find the "Our Favorite Chip Cookies" recipe to be a pretty good chip cookie base.
Part of my not-fully-fantastic experience may have been slightly underbaking the cookies (and using nearly melted butter – a result of letting the butter sit on the counter for too long), resulting in a softer cookie than the crunchy cookie promised in the description.
The flavor of the cookies was spot on though – ground oats added a nice deep flavor to the cookies, and my mix of semi-sweet and mini cinnamon chips also resulted in great tastes.
So hopefully, the next time, I will hold course and bake the cookies for longer – closer to the 14-15 minutes called for in the recipe than the 11 minutes I did with this first batch.
Otherwise, this is a relatively standard cookie recipe – combine the wet and dry ingredients separately before blending both mixtures together.
The only slight deviation from your standard cookie recipe is to grind the rolled oats up before adding them to the dry ingredients.
Roll, bake and serve! I'll report back if I get the texture right with these in the future, and if they live up to the KAF employee high praise!
