Mari Artinian's Chocolate Chip Cookie

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-challenge/chocolate-chip-cookies-recipe/index.html

These were made for the Food Network Challange. I am not sure if Mari won the challange, but I can tell you these are wonderfully thick and very flavorful. I love the addition of espresso and dark brown sugar. If you are a purist you may not appreciate them as much, but if are like me and like a a bit of change, you will love these.



Texture: thick and dense
Flavor: excellent
Difficulty: pan rotation and parchment paper
Unusual ingredients: Espresso

I liked that she used cold butter, so you don't need to plan ahead too much and wait for the butter to soften. I will not use parchment in the future. I don't think it makes much difference. I'll keep you posted.
