Honestly, I have no idea how anyone has problems with this recipe. I have made it dozens of times and it has never failed me, from the very first time I made it. I will use salted butter, unsalted butter, doesn't matter. I have made these cookies vegan many times (I use flax instead of eggs and vegan margarine and soymilk), I often use whole wheat flour instead of regular flour, I will use brown sugar instead of white, I even substituted the oats for bran, and every time this recipe comes out perfect...chewy and sweet and full of chocolate. If it doesn't work for you, then you're fired. Honestly, this recipe is a no-brainer.
