Cookies should be rated on taste and so they were.
Although I don't usually have problems with recipes from the America's Test Kitchen Folks, I had a couple of problems with this recipe. This recipe calls for melted butter to which cold butter is added to cool it down. Problem was my melted butter never even reached the temperature it was supposed to be cooled down to so I wasn't sure if I should heat it more. How do you cool down an 80 degree bowl of butter to 93 degrees?
Secondly, I thought two Tablespoons of dough seemed like an awful lot for one cookie so I checked my measurements with both my regular Tablespoon and my cookie scoop and measured out dough that was 2 Tablespoons. This did not result in the correct number of cookies and my cookies melded together in the oven.
All that being said, the cookies are pretty good. They are not as sweet as you'd expect a sugar cookie to be but they are very chocolatey. I'll have to try them again in a smaller size.
