Now, as crazy as this may seem, I'm choosing to rate this recipe by rating the RECIPE, not the recipe TITLE...crazy, I know...Drum roll, please: da, da, da, da, da, da, da: 5 STARS! And I have some serious high bar standards to earn a 5 star for a chocolate chip cookie recipes (cause, really, aren't they ALL good?!)...to earn the full 5, they have to become my *go to* choc chip cookie recipe. Now, I'm not ready to say these have dethroned my "old standby" Half & Halfs (from AR), but they are def at least tied. I followed the recipe to a "T" (though I do always sub sea salt for regular salt as I like a little salty bite in my sweets), even the *scary* 300 degree baking them, and I was not disappointed. This recipe seems to make a ton: I baked 2 large (1/4 C) cookies, froze 36 golf ball sized rounds of batter for use in my Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes, and baked 8 more 1/8 C cookies. Try these, you will not be disappointed! Thanks, Felix, for a great recipe (and I give you props for your creative title, as well...it's a shame people rate based on the title as opposed to the recipe)!!

I thought these might have been the ones to knock off my very fav chocolate chip cookie (and my basis for a "5" rating) "Half and Half's"...then Mr. LTH took a bite and didn't even finish his cookie! Now, that's not as big of a slam as it may seem as he's not all that big on sweets, but still! I liked them (really, what's not to like about chocolate chip cookies?!), but they haven't become the *go to*, so they earn a solid 4.

These were surprisingly easy! I followed the recipe to a "T", until it came to rising time. I took the advice of many reviewers and allowed the bagels to rise for 30 min. I then boiled them w/a TBSP of sugar AND one of molasses. I only boiled for about 1 min to 1 1/2 min each side. I then placed them directly on a cookie sheet that was sprayed w/PAM and doused w/corn meal. I baked for about 16 min w/very minimal stickage. TY for a great easy bagel recipe; I can't wait to try many variations!
