I recall that the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had were in America during a visit to my brother. The cookie was large, thick, chewy, and soft, unlike any cookies I've encountered here, which are flat and crunchy. I later learned that these were New York style cookies. NY-style cookies are thicker, chunkier, soft and gooey on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior, while regular chocolate chip cookies are generally thin, chewy or crispy, and smaller in size. NY-style cookies weigh about 130-150g each, totaling nearly half a kilogram for just four cookies! I make a lot of them and freeze the raw cookie dough, baking from frozen if I don't want to prepare the entire batch. Once baked, they can last for 4-5 days. Perfect gift for our neighbour or friends.

I’m a retired chef living in the beautiful Gold Coast, Australia, with a lifelong passion for cooking and baking. Even after hanging up my professional apron, I continue to find joy in my kitchen — creating pastries, Asian-inspired dishes, and fine dining plates right at home. For me, food isn’t just about eating; it’s about creativity, comfort, and sharing love through every bite.🇬🇧 Cookpad UK Ambassador!
