Not Your Average Chips Ahoy Chocolate Chip Cookie

These cookies have NOTHING to do with Chips Ahoy, other than the name. They are dense, chewy, soft, stuffed full of dark chocolate and complex with a huge amount of butterscotch undertones. I developed these to bypass the long curing process that my other chocolate chip cookies dough needs. In fact the first batch of cookies can be done in less than an hour. These aren’t better than those cookies, they’re just different (and equally good).
