I’m gonna do everyone here a solid and point you towards this recipe. Its made even better by replacing the chocolate with white chocolate and dried cranberries.
White chocolate AND cranberry. On its own, no clearly it isn’t better than dark chocolate. But, as a combination in the context of chewy cookies, it’s definitely better.
With a dried fruit modifier, white is better than dark. The real question is: is a chocolate chip cookie better than a white chocolate cranberry, and i think that answer is yes.
The only way to tell for sure is to try them side by side. I’ll give it a try next time I make cookies and let you know. But it might be a while, because I’m trying to cut back on sugar a bit.

Not trusting anyone who says white chocolate is better than dark chocolate

But a dark chocolate cranberry is meh at best.
How does it stack up against Alton Brown’s newly-released “Chewy 2.0” (in the second half of the video)?
Alton brown isn’t browning his butter. That’s a definite win for Kenji Lopez-Alt
Yes he is. Watch the second half of the video I linked: that’s the primary difference of the “2.0” recipe.
(The first half is just a history/recap of the standard Tollhouse recipe, and is safely skippable for our purpose.)
