Cookie Jar Favorites
Two favorite cookies: one so chocolaty it’s almost a brownie, the other moist, chewy, and packed with butterscotch flavor.

We turn our attention to two favorite cookies—a triple chocolate cookie that is so chocolaty it’s almost a brownie and the humble brown sugar cookie—moist, chewy, and packed with butterscotch flavor. Trying to pack a lot of chocolate into a cookie can be hazardous. The cookie can bake up overly gooey or candy-like. We wanted just the right amount of richness. We wanted our brown sugar cookies, made from a humble combination of pantry ingredients, to scream “brown sugar.” But simply swapping one kind of sugar for another wasn’t enough. The key to amplifying the brown sugar flavor turned out not to be the sugar, but rather how we treated the butter.
