I took 3rd in a city-wide bakeoff some years back. I think I posted my recipe somewhere. Let me see if I can find it.

Edit: Here it is.

How many cookies does this make? Kinda looks like it would make 8-10 dozen.

I need to at least get a convection oven. In my plain old electric I can only do one sheet at a time. I'd have to start in June.

I should try some cookies in my Traeger...it's basically a convection oven with smoke.

Smoked sea-salt chocolate chip cookies...that actually sounds pretty good...

Hoooooooooooooooooooooly crap, that's like 100 batches!!!!! 😱 😱 😱

What in the world is your workflow like?? 😀

Actually it's 6 dozen or so of each type that we do 😉
Generally takes us about 5-6 days, as we don't bake in the evening.
You know it only takes 6-12 min (depending on type) to bake a cookie.
Gas convection oven turns out 2-4 dozen at a time, depending on size.
Key is to freeze them immediately if you can't have them picked up in 48 hrs., as it maintains them "fresh baked" for 8 months that way.
Just thaw naturally and then pop in the microwave 10-20 sec. for that just out of the oven taste.

We've been doing this for over 25 yrs. now.
My son is 34 and his grade school (and up) friends still show up every year to get their cookies, as do most of our friends and family.
Friends and family start asking about cookies usually after Labor day.
So it is good to "catch up" with everyone when they come to pickup their cookies, as it's hard to get with all of them during the holidays.

Edit: I was wrong on the amount we baked. The wife tells me the finale count was 2253 this year. 🙂

For some surprising Tollhouse cookies, just substitute some of the newer style chocolate coated morsels/chips.
We use the peanut butter, mint, butterscotch, etc. types.
They look just like regular chocolate morsels/chips, so every one assumes they are.

Fun to watch folks bite into what looks like and they think is an ordinary chocolate chip cookie and get that subtle flavor of mint, peanut butter, butterscotch, etc.
They are always confused 🙂
 
I had this idea in my mind to combine a PB cookie with butterscotch chips. Also wanted to try a new PB cookie with cream cheese, so I used this recipe:

In summary - butterscotch is not a good combination with peanut butter, haha. For some reason it sounded better in my head, oh well. Also, 3oz of cream cheese was not enough. Going to try this one next:

It may just be that a PB cookie sandwich with a PB-cream cheese frosting would be a better combination since PB cookies tend to be on the dry side. Toyed with the idea of adding chocolate chips, but I didn't really want chocolate, I wanted PB as the defining flavor. Maybe I'll try adding peanut butter chips to see if that adds some smoothness to it.
