The "Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies" was the first cc cookie recipe I had ever found and made for myself back in 2006 (mom's are delicous but thin and crisp), and with chocolate pudding and pb chips substituted I stand by my claim it makes the best cookie ever. Unfortunately, I've never been as impressed using it as-written for traditional cc cookies (though they're very good!), and thus I tried this one. This... is... it. Everything I've ever wanted or craved in a cc cookie. It uses melted butter, no softening time required, so I can get the idea in my head and 5 minutes later be scooping them onto the sheet. They remain fat and chewy even using only butter, which not being a baker I don't understand but absolutely love. The "other" recipe's cookie part is very soft and more complex in flavor and almost seems to compete with the chocolate chips in the mouth, whereas I feel this chewy simple buttery dough really allows the chocolate to sing. I added two heaping cups of chips as I most always like more but I think the two cups specified is perfect. Will actually post in my kitchen and always make exactly as written, will never search for another cc cookie recipe again (and this time I mean it), thank you SO MUCH for sharing!

Not a fan of the sweetness of this recipe and I attribute that to the large amount of vanilla extract as my old faithful Hershey's recipe, of almost 25 years, uses 3/4 cups of brown and white sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla and they are never too sweet. I do like the texture and the way these cookies hold-up. I did not melt the butter, but softened it instead as melting the butter makes my cookies spread too much for my taste and I added 1 teaspoon of baking soda instead of the 1/2 tsp. called for in the recipe. I made these with a medium Pampered Chef scoop instead of the large called for in the recipe. I may make these again with less vanilla. I still think the Hershey's recipe, on the bag, is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe though.

Best cookies I have EVER made!! I always add about 1 to 2 T more flour and do 1 teaspoon of baking soda instead of 1/2 teaspoon. I have never had flat cookies when doing this! Also, I didn't melt the butter, but everything else I did exactly as instructed. Try these!!

I wanted to love this recipe. I've been doing alot of reading about the science behind cookies and I thought the extra egg yolk and larger proportion of brown sugar were going to give me what I was looking for. Well, they were big, fat, and chewy, but the appearance was horrible (cakey-looking with large cracks) and the taste was sub-par. I keep rereading the recipe to see where I went wrong. I followed it exactly. I think the people who are ending up with flat, hard cookies may not be using the 1/4 cup of dough in each cookie or may be using hot butter. Mine were certainly not flat or hard.

They are really tasty cookies! Only problem I had was when they baked, the ran together, even though I used melted butter, slightly warm eggs & refrigerated the dough as others have suggested. Since I just made these for my hubby & me, it didn't matter how ugly they turned out!

So good- tastes just like the Toll House cookies!! I only used one stick of butter (1/2 cup) and just over 1 Cup of Chocolate Chips (sadly, it was all I had) and they still turned out GREAT!! They are so chewy and fluffy! The batter was not runny at all and was easy to form, I did not need to put in the fridge before I baked them. Last time I made them I messed up and did an egg white instead of an egg yolk, they were fine but now I can really tell the difference! Thank you!!!

These are good cookies, they are very sweet as others have posted and do not overbake them, they go quickly from perfect to overbaked.

This is a great recipe. For chocoholics out there...I doubled the recipe and used 2 cups regular choc chips and 2 cups mini choc chips. The mini's distribute really well in the cookie and make them extra chocolatey! Thanks for a great recipe!

AWARD WINNING! The BEST recipe ever! Everyone asks me for it. I only do 2 things different: 1) I mix 1/2 semi-sweet & 1/2 milk chocolate chips 2) I refrigerate the dough for about 30-45 min before cooking. I have found that this gives the cookies the perfect not-too sweet flavor and refrigerating the dough makes the cookies thicker/puffier like the "soft batch" cookies you can buy. This is NOT a cake-like cookie it's a yummy chewy gooey delight! But if I cook them without refrigerating them they come out a little thin... and more crispy/hard.

These are the best cookies, in the universe. I always use salted butter and they are fine. I think the key is to take them out at 15 mins or so, even if they dont look 100% done. They are. They are ABSOLUTELY delcious and look like you got them from a fancy bakery. This is my cookie to impress.

The best chewy chocolate chip cookie, par none. We followed the recipe exactly and loved them. It didn't seem to matter if the cookie sheets were greased or ungreased. We initially thought a person could lighten up on the chocolate chips to about a cup and a half, but after the first day I found the 2 cups to be just right. These taste just like specialty store cookies. YUM!!!

I have always stuck with the standard Toll House-style cookies, but longed to be able to make bakery-style dense, buttery cookies, and now I can! These cookies have gotten RAVE reviews from my fiance, his co-workers, and also my co-workers. I don't refrigerate the dough, and I did reduce the chips to 1½ cups as suggested, plus also increased the salt to 1 tsp to balance out the super sweetness of this recipe (plus we like salty cookies). Be sure to take them out of the oven before they look done and let them finish cooking on the cookie sheet. Every batch I've made is perfect at exactly 17 minutes. If you cook them until they are brown they will not have the buttery denseness, and they will get hard quickly. I've gotten extremely consistent results with this recipe - buttery, soft, dense cookies that are never crispy, fluffy, or cakey!
