It’s been almost three weeks since I came back from Sonoma and Napa Valley. I’m still longing for that great wine and, of course, more Thomas Keller treats! The easiest ad hoc recipe to find and make on a whim where these ad hoc chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for two types of chocolate and surprisingly no vanilla. The best part is that you don’t need to soften your butter beforehand, as the recipe has you beat the butter into submission in your stand mixer! Yay! You can find the recipe here.
Oh, and don’t worry. I’ll be posting my ffwD make-up dish early next week!

I don’t have the book, but I’m starting to feel an itch to make some of TK’s recipes going around the web!
Aug 16, 2013 @ 08:06:37
Oh my…this looks soooo good, right now! No vanilla! So interesting. This recipe looks a lot easier than the choc chip cookie recipe in the last book. I like the tip about spraying the tops with a mist of water too. Thanks for sharing!
Aug 16, 2013 @ 08:20:20
They look like the perfect choc chip cookie … who needs vanilla
Aug 16, 2013 @ 09:33:45
Oh yum! I love a good chocolate chip cookie recipe. These looks great!

Aug 16, 2013 @ 11:07:48
Make up or not, a chocolate chip cookie sure sounds good right about now…
Aug 16, 2013 @ 11:19:37
Absolutely delicious looking biscuit, Yummy.
Aug 16, 2013 @ 12:52:43
2 types of chocolate, you say? YUM!!
Aug 16, 2013 @ 14:55:36
I just asked my bf what he wanted for his birthday and he said cookies ! Thanks for this !
Aug 16, 2013 @ 15:51:07
chocolate chip cookies are the ONLY cookies I like! Love it.. c
Aug 16, 2013 @ 15:58:18
Why have I not made these yet???? I own the cookbook and have no excuse. Your gorgeous photos have given me the nudge I needed 🙂
Aug 16, 2013 @ 16:01:17
Oh yes, was planning on making chocolate chip cookies, will try that recipe. Looks delicious!!
Aug 16, 2013 @ 16:16:05
Those look wonderful!
Aug 16, 2013 @ 16:47:23
Who can resist a choc chip cookie. These do sound easy to make xx
Aug 16, 2013 @ 17:49:56
Yummy is the word that describes these cookies:)
Aug 16, 2013 @ 18:20:19
I can just tell from those pictures I would love a snap of one of those chocolate chip cookies!
Thanks for sharing, Yummy…
Aug 16, 2013 @ 18:51:10
These cookies look delish!
Aug 16, 2013 @ 18:55:25
Can’t think of a better thing to do ad hoc than chocolate chip cookies
Aug 17, 2013 @ 00:45:19
Please give me some! You should totally come visit SF again! 🙂 The cookies look so good!
Aug 17, 2013 @ 05:44:25
What a great trip! And your cookies sound great, too. I love the idea of a recipe where you don’t have to leave butter out in advance. (Let’s just say I do some of my baking spur of the moment.)
Aug 17, 2013 @ 06:26:31
Your trip sounds absolutely wonderful! And your cookies look scrumptious! I love that you don’t soften the butter first. I just treated myself to the Bouchon Bakery Cookbook and have found many recipes I want to try!
Aug 17, 2013 @ 06:58:21
I love the way that chocolate is oozing out of that cookie! I want a chocolate chip cookie now.
Aug 17, 2013 @ 08:20:04
I like that you don’t have to soften the butter first!
Aug 17, 2013 @ 09:32:42

They look amazing and so easy to make !
Aug 17, 2013 @ 15:54:05
Glad you loved these as much as I did. Aren’t they amazing? The perfect texture and sooooo chocolate-y.
Aug 18, 2013 @ 00:54:11
Just read the recipe and it does look really good. Unfortunately my stand blender has just died so I might have to wait a while to actually make these.
Aug 18, 2013 @ 03:22:04
You cant go wrong with a good chocolate chip cookies!
Aug 18, 2013 @ 06:22:01

The cookies look absolutely yummy! I love chocolate chip cookies!
Aug 18, 2013 @ 09:25:12
Perfect cookies! A tall glass of cold milk would be perfect with these cookies! Yum!
Aug 18, 2013 @ 17:22:07
Oh I am just drooling, how did you get the chocolate all liquidy and melty!!! It looks so good I want to lick it!!!
What a great recipe! Seems there has been a lot of cookie munching going on in the bloghesphere… always a good thing 😉
Aug 18, 2013 @ 19:05:11
Omigosh those look soooo good. I’m so jealous of your trip!
Aug 18, 2013 @ 19:28:28
Just had some tea from Bouchon today…was dying for a cookie but I resisted! Thomas Keller knows how to make a good cookie.
This looks just as good.
Aug 18, 2013 @ 21:39:08
chocolate chip cookies are the bestest thing ever – these look so delicious!
Aug 19, 2013 @ 05:11:06

They certainly look delicious. Thomas Keller knows what he’s doing!
Aug 19, 2013 @ 08:24:26
I can never say no to a good choco chip cookie!
Aug 19, 2013 @ 10:43:06
They look mouthwateringly good! Just add a tall glass of milk for cookie perfection

OMG,
This cookie looks perfect!
Aug 20, 2013 @ 05:48:57
yum – and I would be quite happy to make cookies without vanilla – I find it odd that it is in so many recipes and often leave it out – just need chocolate 🙂
Aug 20, 2013 @ 09:37:20
Oh they look good!
Aug 20, 2013 @ 10:08:35
Yummyyyy chunks :))
Aug 20, 2013 @ 12:50:12
OMG, these look incredible! I have to say – the idea of not having to use softened butter totally sells me on these…I don’t have a microwave and I’m constantly forgetting to take the butter out ahead of time!
Aug 20, 2013 @ 14:45:32
ahh this looks so yummy. i think i’ll ask my boyfriend to make some cookies tonight !
Aug 20, 2013 @ 15:33:59
Wow, these chocolate chips cookies look great…I so wish I would get hold of one…
Have a wonderful week ahead 😀
Aug 20, 2013 @ 21:09:24
