I've made this recipe twice now, and both times it's made fantastic soft-centred cookies. I really like the proportion of flour in the recipe (though another reviewer didn't) -- I'm not a fan of oily, spready chocolate chip cookies. Like most cookie recipes, I find the yield to be much higher than the actual (we all know big cookies are better). I would definitely cut back on the salt by half, especially if you're using salted butter. I may just try adding a bit of oat flour next time to see if I can get them a bit chewier, but overall a big hit with me.

We've tried countless Chocolate Chip Recipies but this one's the best. Easy enough for the kids to make. My son even used it for a Demonstration Speech in college!

As far as taste goes, you can't go wrong with this recipe. My first batch turned out flat as others have mentioned, so I was a bit dissappointed until I tasted them. It certainly did not affect the taste! They were delicious. I added 1cup more flour to the second batch I made for guests and they turned out perfectly. I got nothing but rave reviews!! Excellent recipe!

I have searched for a great chocolate chip cookie recipe for years. This is the BEST I've found after many tries. They not only taste great, but, they look good too, not flat like many recipes.

I made these last night, and I think it's a good basic recipe. Like other reviewers, I used 3/4 c for the white & brown sugar. The only thing I changed was the amount of flour. I had measured out the 3.5 cups, but as I was mixing the batter it became apparent that it was way too much. I think I ended up using about 2.75 cups of flour. The cookies have a wonderful flavor and are nice and chewy - exactly what I wanted in the recipe.

These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever! I have tried many recipies and this is the best one! I just love thick crispy and gooey chocolate chip cookies. I made them to bring on vacation with me. MAKE THIS BATCH! TIP I recommend to let them cool more than a about 75 seconds because I was so tempted I ate a very hot one. oops!

I've been making these for the last 3 years now, and it is an all time favorite of my family and friends! I do cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup. I read some of the reviews mentioned having crumbly dough...but mine doesn't turn out that way. I mix everything, but the chocolate chips and nuts, in the electric mixer. When dough is thoroughly mixed, I add the chips and nuts using a big spatula. Once all mixed, I press the though together in the bowl to look like big playdough. For a perfect, looking cookies, I use a melon baller (looks like a small ice-cream scooper) to scoop them out and place them on the cookie sheet (I use stoneware). Just like little ice-cream scoops, I bake them just like that. They turn out so perfectly! One of my co-workers mentioned they look like Famous Amos cookies...but better! I've tried other CC cookie recipes, but this one is the one I get many great compliments with. Hopefully this will help some of the reviewers. "Happy baking!"

These cookies are wonderful! I used the suggestion to cut the sugars each back to 3/4 cup, and they turned out perfect! Not overly sweet, moist and very yummy! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I've been making this recipe for a few years now, and I'm famous for these cookies!! Only, I have recently cut down the sugar to 3/4 cup each brown and white, and I like the texture better-- not so grainy.

I finally found a GREAT recipe! I did not have butter flavored shortening, but regular seemd to turn out just fine. I also used walnuts instead of pecans. These came out soft & chewy out of the oven. I found they did need to be tightly wrapped, or they became a bit more crunchy, but still very tasty! I just prefer a softer cookie! This recipe will now be a STAPLE in my house! These lasted ONE day in my house!I am going to wrap these up for teacher gifts next week!!!

Attention Chocolate Chip Cookie lovers. This is, by far, the best recipe I've tried for CC cookies in a long while. I followed the recipe exactly and baked up cookies with a perfect crunch to soft ratio. Give these a try.
