Home for the Holidays/NYT Cookies/Christmas Vacation

Special holiday edition!

Typically my rule is that the movie I review has to be a movie I haven't seen before. I've changed the rules so that I can do one throwback movie of the month. Last month it was Jaws, and now this month it will be Christmas Vacation.

I'm home in Michigan for the holidays, and I baked these cookies with my brother Ethan, my sister Caitlin, and her boyfriend Jake. They are all pretty stellar people.

There has been a lot of buzz behind these chocolate chip cookies, so I feel like it's time to give them a try. The original recipe is found here. I know it may seem like a lot of chocolate, but somehow it works. We ended up having to use two different kinds (not the fancy discs like the article) because we didn't have enough of one kind. We also just used all purpose flour instead of a mixture of bread and cake. I hope that didn't affect the recipe too much.
