These are excellent cookies that people rave over every time. I teach a cooking class and my fourth and fifth grade students love to make these since everyone drools over them. I give them a four instead of a five for a couple of reasons: 1. They do need more salt than the recipe calls for so either add more or use salted butter. 2. I decrease the sugar as I find them too sweet other wise. (Total 1.5 cups in whatever proportions you prefer. I do half and half, but use dark brown sugar.) 3. I think they make much better bar cookies than they do regular cookies. I have never managed to get them to turn out quite right as a regular cookie, but they are always decadent as bar cookies. Those points made, this is by far my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.

These cookies are so good! I made them once exactly like the recipe except I omitted the nuts and they were awesome! I made them again and I changed the sugar to Splenda, used the Splenda brown sugar, and sugar free chocolate chips. They didn't spread out like the ones with the real sugar but they were also good! This is definitely a keeper recipe!

First off, we cooked these at high altitude in Boulder, CO and they turned out great! We found the batter to be pretty dry so we used our patented "inception" method of cookie-making...sticking the chocolate chips in after we had already made dough balls! Our oven runs a bit hot, next time I would set it at 335 degrees instead of 350.

Very good recipe! I concur with others who said to refrigeratrate the dough for atleast overnight. I find you get MUCH better results this way.

The consistency and texture of this cookie is dead on. I couldn't imagine a better consistency for a CCC. I didn't find it flavourful enough though, it tasted bland and lacking.
