A “perfect” chocolate chip cookie? Maybe. I’m not sure such a thing exists, does it? But is this great cookie? Definitely.

Chocolate Chip Cookies: The Best I’ve Ever Made
I stumbled across this Jacques Torres recipe at Martha Stewart. Though it specifies bittersweet or semisweet, milk chocolate would be just as delicious. A combination of bread and pastry flour (maybe a touch of whole wheat), plus the secret of refrigerating the dough (thank you, NY Times), makes these cookies chewy, beautiful, and texturally interesting.

Polish Kolachy Like Grandma’s
This recipe produces the Polish kolachy that grandma made back in the day: cream cheese pastry dough with jam, jelly, or preserves (or maybe nuts) for filling, sprinkled with powdered sugar. It’s thought of as a Christmas cookie, but it’s really more of a two-bite pastry. I’ll show you how to do it.
Sicilian Fig Cookies
Sicilian Fig Cookies are an old-school Christmas tradition at my house. Rolled-out crescents of flaky dough with a rich fig filling. Freeze well. Fantastic recipe.
