Made choc chips cookies from 3 recipes as below:
1) New York Times Chocolate Chips Cookie (recipe from Two Peas & Their Pod)
2) Anna Olsens Chocolate Chips Coookie (recipe from Apple A Day)
3) recipe from The Way the Cookie Crumbles(adapted from nearly every single chocolate chip cookie recipe that she ever read)
The clear winner for me from the above 3 is New York Times 36hours-rest-in-fridge recipe, thisNYT version is harder and thicker whereas Anna Olsens is more crumbly and thin (resulting in bigger cookie in terms of diameter).The Way the Cookie Crumblesis my least favorite as it is most crumbly among 3 recipe and very cakey and not cookie-like in terms of texture.
Cookie dough has to be chilled in fridge for 24 to 36 hours before being baked, dont mind the 36 hours waiting period at all, as it split out the workload into more manageable during weeknights. Although i made the cookie much smaller than directed, it still has the crispy edges and chewy center texture. I halved the recipe and reduced the brown sugar from 140g to 70g, it is still a tad sweet, sugar can be slightly reduced. All together halved recipe yields 32 cookie.
Below the halved recipe in metric measurement (Oops i actually forgot whether i used 70g brown + 115g caster or 70g caster + 115 g brown sugar, the below should be the correct one, but the cookie look so brown ?!)
New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies (Yield:32cookies)
120g cake flour
120g bread flour
1/2! plus 1/ 8 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
140g unsalted butter
70g light brown sugar
115g granulated sugar
1 large eggs
1 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
190g bittersweet chocolate chips
Sea salt
My fridge is too cold, making the cookie dough very hard, almost ice-cream like hard. Have to warm it in room temp for 15 minutes or so before scooping it out onto baking tray.

Colleague commented it tasted like Famous Amos which i find is quite similar, it is cookie hard without being too crumbly, slightly soft and chewy in the center as it is supposed to be.
Anna Olsens recipe
butter and sugars
add egg
yields 31 cookies, i find the cookie more soft and crumbly, could be due to high ratio of brown sugar over caster sugar.
last recipe from bloggerBridget from The Way the Cookie Crumbles
Had to buy an expensive high protein flour from supermarket. Should have bought some from bakery shop to stock at home
Cookie dough
Made 19 cookies
a bit too much of sea salt on some, crumbly and cake-like in texture, my least favourite.
