My search for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe is now over. I have found it. The recipe name says it all. These are the best - ever!!! I will never try another recipe, these are fabulous.

HELPFUL TIPS NOT MENTIONED: This is very forgiving! Just keep baking until it becomes golden brown and has a nice top texture when touched (hard enough to touch w/o being gooey) whether that takes 13 or 20 min! I promise they'll be super chewy! I've had to bake for 20 min several times! Everything is dependent on if you put in fridge and how long (i've left overnight before on accident). But if you don't refrigerate long enough or at all, they're be flat. 1st: Sift the dry ingredients. Melt the butter in microwave then mix in sugars. DO use the yoke of one egg and 1 other egg. Dump rest of ingred. on top. Mix by hand until blended. Refrigerate batter for an hour then preheat oven to 325. Drop 1/4C scoop (should make ~16) and bake!! My husband thinks these are sweet so I only use 3/4C b.s. and a little under 1/2C of white sugar. 1C chocolate chips is PLENTY! Melt in your mouth results if you use a combination of milk chocolate and semi-sweet like bakeries! Update: Just tried "Blonde Brownies I" and it's IDENTICAL but a yummy brownie! Try it!

Very good cookies. I cooked the first batch for 15 mins and it was way too much. I cooked the 2nd batch 11 mins and they were perfectly chewy in the midle.

Excellent! I followed other reviewers suggestions, letting the dough chill before baking- also letting them set for about 5 minutes before putting on rack... and they turned out perfectly! I didn't grease my cookie sheets, and they turned out perfectly! I think next time I'll add a bit of extra vanilla. Yum! They do look like they're from a bake shop!

I don't like chocolate chip cookies - I never have - but I LOVE these. Somehow they're just... better... than all the others. :)

Pretty decent but too egg-y for my taste.

My 11 yr old daughter and her friend made these last night for mothers day. They were delish!! Theyt both said they were also easyto make!! Everyone loved them. Thanks for the recipe we will be making them again and again. Val

Wasn't as good as i hoped... was baking it for Mother's Day and it didn't turn out like a big hit as i wanted it to... Became crunchy and hardened out. I stayed by the oven for hours, making sure the cookies didnt overbake... But Nope.. Didn't turn out fab. Was real greasy... Taste okay but texture was not.

Tasted exactly as it was supposed to - chewy

Not as "Fat" as I hoped, but big, great texture-chewy and moist-just like what I would expect from a bakery. Definitely will be making this again!

This is a FABULOUS cookie! I have made this recipe twice now and have discovered that they are done in the 17 minutes suggested even though they may not appear done. Take them out of the oven even if they look a little under cooked. They will still be crisp along the edges and chewy inside.

My family and coworkers all loved this recipe. I think some people at work think I lied when I said I made them from scratch... I didn't take them to work until 2 days later and they were still soft, chewy and delicious. They went super fast. I didn't have unsalted butter, so I used the kind I had... I think next time I will have some unsalted on hand though, they were slightly more cakey and salty than I would have preferred!

These cookies are so good. They are better than the ones in the supermarket. My two children love them very much. i sometimes substitute the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips and it is still good.

Every time I make these, someone asks me for the recipe. Perfect, big chocoalte chip cookie!

These are so good! Everyone loved them.

This is one of the greatest cookie recipes that I have ever tried!

These are awesome!!! I added some chopped walnuts and used a silpat instead of parchment, and they were great.

These are dry, cakey and salty. I am sorry but it is true I registered on this site just to warn people that these cookies are definitely not all they're cracked up to be.

I made these a while back when I was pregnant, around Christmas time. I have to defend it's honor. These ARE the best ones I have had. Read reviews carefully. I also used butter flavored Crisco, and didn't melt it. Make sure you don't just leave the cookies in the oven and walk off. Also, do a 'test' cookie as well, so you can get the perfect baking time. Baking times have and always will vary with altitude. :-) They are great!

I think this recipe is great. It's really easy to make and are absolutly delicious. I've been making many of these almost every week ever since I found this recipe. I recommend to put a little less sugar if you want. I also recommend making a double batch because I tell ya' these won't be around long!
