I have been playing with this recipe over the last little while with excellent results.
I usually let my dough rest for a few hours but am going to try the 36 route.
I will also add that salt is the key to a great tasting cookie. I've even added more to some recipes (with mixed results).

Chocolate Chip Cookies a la Anna Olson
My secret ingredient is cornstarch to make chewy-centred cookies! If you want crispy cookies, omit the cornstarch and replace the baking soda with baking powder.

* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
