My kids loved these cookies! They thought they were the best they ever tasted. For me, they were better the following day. Not the best but definitely very good! I added walnuts to half of the dough for my enjoyment.

Definately double the recipe for these, especially if they are intended for a friend. That way you wont feel bad when you realize you've eaten more than half of them! They look beautiful- perfectly round and soft, and taste like a chocolate dream!

These were EXCELLENT!!! I didn't use quite as many chocolate chips as the recipe said, I found it was a bit much - but other than that, followed the recipe to a tee and they were great, everyone loved em! Will definitely make this again! I agree with everyone who said make sure the ingredients are mixed thoroughly, that is the key. Yum yum! Thanks for sharing!

I love the end result but if someone was a novice these directions would be very confusing, not all people know that sugars are considered a wet ingredient not a dry. I altered the recipe slightly to appeal to my father-in-laws taste by omitting the vanilla and adding 1Tbl of espresso (1 Tbsp boiling water and 3tsp of espresso instant crystals) and I found it made the flavor explode, I also decreased the chips to 1c and added 1c of toasted macadamia. He LOVED them.

Loved this recipe! Tried it today and it's hard to stop eating these cookies! My husband and daughter wanted to keep eating the dough. I also added butterscotch chips along with the chocolate chips and it turned out really, really good. Thanks for the recipe! I have a feeling that I'll be making more batches before Christmas is done.

Good Cookie I just need to tweek it so that I get the proper spread I like, with the crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It's a keeper but I will personally tweek it for my preference.

Wow! I love these cookies! I under baked them slightly so they came out gooey and stayed moist. Also, I always add 2-3 tablespoons of molasses to my cookies for a fuller, richer taste.

I thought these were delicious cookies! The batter was even better though! :) They baked up beautifully and stayed soft and chewy! I added 1/2 tsp of salt as others recommended. I will gladly make these again and more than likely serve them with vanilla ice cream or a big glass of milk!

YUM! I added 1/2 t salt and an extra 1/2 t baking soda (as suggested by others). I used white chips. I think I may try peanut butter chips next time.

mmmhhhhhhmm, very good. The dough was very stiff, but the cookies turned out just right. I used 1/4 cup extra cocoa and no chips. Almond slices for garnish.

When i saw the comment someone posted about using a hand mixer and making sure the ingredients were mixed very thoroughly, i cringed. Please, please don't over-mix! It's so easy in cookies especially, the glucose in the flour breaks down and the quality of the cookie goes down so much. Anyway, these cookies were great. I used wheat flour and they turned out fabulous.

Awesome cookies... Tasted soooo good. I spooned out about 2 tsp. and baked 12 minutes and they were perfectly done with a chewy inside! I used 1 1/2 tsp baking soda only because mine was getting old and I didn't want them to go flat! Thanks for this great recipe!!!

Delicious...and my mom the chocoholic, loved them. She thought they might also be good with peanut butter chips. I did take one of the other posts advise and added 1/2 tsp of salt. I underbaked them (about 10 minutes) because I like them soft and chewy. DELICIOUS!!! Do make sure to mix "Dry" (flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt) and cream "Wet" (sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, butter, and eggs) Combine the dry into the wet and when well mixed then add chocolate chips.
