Thousand-Layer Chocolate Chip Cookies

Even though this recipe takes a bit more work than most chocolate chip cookie recipes, it’s worth the extra effort. I actually enjoy the chewy chocolate chip cookies that my daughter makes better, but these crisp ones are still fantastic and a close second to hers, and I especially loved the bittersweet chocolate in these. My daughter helped me with the rolling and stacking. When we were making them, we wondered how all that chocolate was going to fit between those layers, but it worked out great. The baking time was right on the mark at 12 minutes for a perfectly done cookie. I ended up with 29 cookies instead of 20, but no problem there, more to eat and share. I used a Silpat with great success. Be sure to leave the suggested 3 inches between cookies when baking as they do spread. I made part of the batch with the salt and egg wash, part with just the salt, and part plain. Daughter and I enjoyed the salted ones best, with or without the egg wash. These are great with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. A recipe we’ll be sure to add to our files.
