Preparation
- Step 1
Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar; add egg and beat until well blended.
- Step 2
In a bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to butter and sugar, adding a little milk at a time as necessary to make dough just soft enough to handle. Stir in the vanilla, then fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Step 3
Roll dough into a log about 1½ to 2 inches in diameter, wrap well in plastic and freeze for at least 2 hours or up to several months.
- Step 4
When ready to bake, heat oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease a couple of cookie sheets. Do not defrost dough. With a thin-bladed or serrated knife, cut inch-thick slices from frozen log of dough, cut each into quarters, and put on prepared sheets, about 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are lightly brown and the center set, 6 to 10 minutes. Cool for about 2 minutes on sheets before using a spatula to transfer cookies to a rack to finish cooling.
- Step 5
Store cookies in a tightly covered container at room temperature for no more than a day or two.

Disappointing cookie. Like a bad shortbread. Pretty dry and the cookie part had very little flavor. I LOVE NYT cooking - this is a rare miss.
Great pancake recipe!
Such a disappointment. The finished product is nothing like what a good choc chip cookie should be. Find a different recipe.
1cup of sugar for 3 cups of flour? You are bound to end up with tasteless dough. And I don't like overly sweet cookies.
