A twitter post by "cole ashe" with NileBlue's "Making the World's Purest Cookie" video on the bottom saying "everything about this video is great. he makes a cookie using like NIST reference standard flour and chocolate and molecular biology grade sucrose and it just ends up tasting like nothing. he'd also never made cookies before this so it's like watching a space alien learn to bake"

I'm gonna do everyone here a solid and point you towards this recipe. Its made even better by replacing the chocolate with white chocolate and dried cranberries.

    Not trusting anyone who says white chocolate is better than dark chocolate

    With a dried fruit modifier, white is better than dark. The real question is: is a chocolate chip cookie better than a white chocolate cranberry, and i think that answer is yes.

    But a dark chocolate cranberry is meh at best.

    How does it stack up against Alton Brown's newly-released "Chewy 2.0" (in the second half of the video)?

    Alton brown isn't browning his butter. That's a definite win for Kenji Lopez-Alt

    Yes he is. Watch the second half of the video I linked: that's the primary difference of the "2.0" recipe.

    (The first half is just a history/recap of the standard Tollhouse recipe, and is safely skippable for our purpose.)
