I am a BIG fan of America's Test Kitchen and their other brands... including Cook's Illustrated magazine and web site.
So while I don't often bake, I HAD to try their PERFECT chocolate chip cookies. Instead of creaming the butter, you melt and brown it a la beurre noisette (someone's been reading Julia Child's cookbooks lately, right?).
Here's the recipe. http://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/detail.asp?docid=19364
