These were so so - a good "basic" recipe for chocolate chip cookies. A little bland, but still good. I was hoping for a softer, chewier cookie... my batch was HARD (I DON'T like hard cookies - reminds me of the "processed" packaged Keebler cookies sold at the supermarket). I think reducing the baking time to 8 min. per another reviewer's suggestion (I baked mine for 12-13 min.) would help. I used butter (unsalted) in lieu of margarine and I too felt that the dough was stiff (I had to incorporate the choc. chips by hand). Next time, I'll zap individual cookies in the microwave for a few seconds to soften them (my bf did this and it worked well). The one thing I really liked about this recipe was Jaylor's suggestion to roll the cookies into balls. By doing this, every cookie turned out even and uniform (one of the pluses of the recipe!). Try serving these with hot chocolate (which is another option for softening them, when dunked). Thanks!

I have been using this recipe for two years. It is always a hit when I bring these cookies to events!

I would give this a 3.5 instead if I could. They were good, and I liked the texture, but I think next time I would add some more salt. I halved the recipe and it made plenty for me. Also, I used butter instead of the margerine. I baked them for 10 minutes and they had a crispy outside and a chewy center. Overall a good chocolate chip recipe.

i loved these cookies! i followed the recommendation of the poster, and made little balls so they looked nice.. but i guess i made them too big, because they became one big giant cookie cake type thing:p hahahah but it was very good tho! so im still giving it five stars. I just know that next time ill make the balls smaller..

I didn't have to tweak this recipe at all. My roommates loved them and have asked for more. This is a great cookie to have with a glass of milk. We ran through a gallon in a night!

I bake cookies for our insurance business. We give a bag of cookies to every customer that comes by our office or that we visit in person. I wanted something besides the standard "Toll-House" cookie so I tried this recipe. Huge hit! I have officially change to this recipe instead. It makes a big batch, which I like because I can freeze the extras, which by the way, they freeze well too.

I cut the flour to 3cups and added 1c rolled oats and they were DELICIOUS!!! I also use mini chocolate chips and real butter rather than margarine.

These are delicious, and I love that I can make a big batch. I bake a few and then freeze the rest by rolling them into balls and freezing on a cookie sheet. When they're frozen I put them in a big zipper bag. Then I can pull out the number I want to cook and bake them for a few minutes more. This will give me fresh, hot cookies anytime I want them.

These were so much fun to make. Yet I think I may have done something wrong. Instead of coming out flatish, they came out prominant as if they hadn't even sucken from the balls that I had rolled them into. So, to make them more soft, I added another egg, and some milk; which made them very chewy. ^^ I got many thanks at the potluck I made them for~ Great recipe!

I just made this recipe tonight and the cookies were some of the best chocolate chip cookies ever! I don't like a lot of chips in mine so I only used one bag of chips (about 2 cups) and they were awesome that way. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and just used margarine. This makes so many cookies, I just baked one pan and kept the rest of the dough in the fridge to make them up fresh when we want them. I may pack some up to give as Christmas gifts, too. One word of advice: use a HUGE mixing bowl!

erm guys. I have tried to bake this chocolate cookies for about 2 times. The cookies tasted real good! But i have a problem. Sometimes some bits of my cookies will tend to stick on the cookie sheet. Why is this so? Not only that, i had to bake my cookies for around 25 to 30 min. Can any help me out?

GREAT!

these cookies are soooo GOOOD!!! When it says they make 84 cookies they really mean it but it cool beacues they will disaper fast!!!

These were perfect! My daughter and I followed the recipe except for scaling it down quite a bit. We'll make these again! Thanks for sharing!
