Best-Ever Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Notes on my thoughts,
reactions and questions as I
read:
By mid-afternoon, the line at Culture Espresso stretches out the door and onto
the sidewalk. Once inside, Midtown New York City office workers are handed
white paper cups with artful foam and, if they are smart, a chocolate chunk
cookie as big as a basketball player's palm, still warm from the oven.
"Nothing really beats a good chocolate chip cookie," owner Jody LoCascio says,
echoing our cookie-crazy thoughts exactly. "We have a full-time cookie guy," he
adds, an oddity for a small coffee shop that focuses on expertly brewed espresso
drinks and coffees. "We do over 100 a day."
The cookie is golden crisp at the edges, an inch-thick, and soft--blissfully almost
undercooked--with melty, dark chocolate chunks inside. I've eaten a lot of
chocolate chip cookies in my day, but this one balances near the top of the heap.
The cookie's been a customer favorite since Culture first opened and a Culinary
Institute of America-trained pastry chef created a menu of treats. Back then, "a
basic little home mixer from Macy's" could keep up with demand, said
LoCascio. The coffee shop has since upgraded to an industrial-sized mixer made
for large-scale batches to keep up with demand. "We just kinda hit it," he says.
"It's taken off."
Three little tweaks take this chocolate chunk cookie recipe from simply delicious
