Next time you make chocolate-chip cookies, try letting the dough rest in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours before baking. The difference in texture is unbelievable!

Don read that article when it came out last summer, and now HE makes the cookies. That recipe makes the best batch I've ever had - even without letting them rest for two days (come on. how can you plan for cookies two days in advance?).
I haven't gotten to make this particular recipe yet. (Can you believe that I can't find cake flour in DC?!) However, resting the dough in the fridge makes a huge difference in my regular chocolate-chip cookie recipe.
i read this article too, and definitely have the recipe saved in my documents! :) i haven't made it yet, though. it's in a long list of recipes to try.
have you tried whole foods for cake flour? you probably have, but they have so many kinds it seems like they should have it.
I'll reveal my not-a-serious-baker side here, but FYI, they're definitely worth making with all-purpose flour. Is pastry flour easier to find than cake flour? It at least has less gluten than all-purpose.
Even with plain old regular flour, they're still the best.
