The other day on Serious Eats, there was an article which heralded the 25th Anniversary of Martha Stewart's "Entertaining", the classic book which ushered in a new era of entertaining, appetizers and parties to be remembered by. It was also the beginning of Martha Stewart's empire as we know it today. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2008/04/classic-cookbooks-alexiss-brown-sugar-chocolate-chip-cookies-recipe.htm Also mentioned in this nostalgic glance at the past, is the unique recipe for chocolate chip cookies by Martha's daughter Alexis. These very thin cookies are designed for those who LOVE all things BUTTER and LOTS of BROWN SUGAR. It also hits home with anybody who lusts after caramel or butterscotch. I've made these in the past, and obviously again today, but only do so if I have a special request or I'm in the mood to make ice cream sandwiches. Making these on a very humid or hot day can be very challenging for a novice baker, so beware of those complicating factors before you reach for the butter. Also note that these keep best if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If left out at room temperature, they get limp and lose their slight crispy edge.

I like the sound of the thin chocolate chip cookie. Making them into a sandwich with filling sounds good as well!
Doc, These cookies look soooo good. I love sooper thin cookies because I can eat a dozen at a time, and not feel so guilty. I'm so hungry right now. I'm waiting for some meatloaf to finish.
Yum, I love thin cookies. They remind me of lace cookies and these incredible matzo cookies my mom used to make. I need to find that recipe...Glad you find my blog! You've still got 2 1/2 hours to submit an entry if you've got one laying around! =)
