These were REALLY good! I usually won't rate a recipe that I've changed but the only thing I did different with these cookies was that I used real butter instead of margarine and I used 2 cups of chocolate chips instead of 3. My kids and hubby LOVED these cookies. I also refrigerated the dough for 2 hours and that helped them from being so flat. I loved that they were so chewy.

This is officialy our family's favorite cookie. I get bored with the typical chocolate chip cookies and these are a great change. I always make them with butter instead of margarine. They are also very good replacing the chocolate chips for dried cranberries. They make lots so do small batches or use a strong mixer.

Really yummy warm! I used Splenda in place of the sugars & cut the recipe in half. Splenda in cookies doesn't flatten so I had to flatten them before baking.

WOW! Now this is an awesome cookie! I was looking for a recipe for Cowboy cookies and this one had the same ingredients, so I used it. I added raisins and walnuts and they were so good. These cookies did not flatten when cool. Just the right texture a little crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I had to bake them longer, about 15 minutes was perfect but I made them pretty big. The batch was so big I couldn't fit it all in the mixer (Kitchen Aid), so I mixed the rest of the ingredients with my hands. I am going to try different variations. Like butterscotch chips and walnuts, no raisins. I am sure these will be in my cookie jar for years to come! Thank you.

These cookies are really tasty, but a bit flat. I used butter instead of margarine. Next time I may try refrigerating the dough first so they won't spread so much.

My recipe is just like this except that it has 2 Cups oil instead of the margarine. This makes the dough a much different consistency and I even have to flatten the dough some. It is healthier with oil too! Great recipe - I make and take to football games. Everyone wants to sit by us!

These are the best cookies I have ever had. Quick and easy to make, and absolutely scrumptious! They stay soft for days, but I cannot guarantee that they will last that long! Enjoy!

I LOVE making and eating cookies and these were suprisingly good. Although I did use butter instead of margarine (that could be why people are getting flat cookies-I don't like using margarine-plus why skimp when it's a cookie) and I ALWAYS need a squirt or two of vanilla in any of my cookies. These had a nice and different crunch with the cornflake ingredient and they were very yummy! Will def make again. I also made half the recipe and that was plenty of cookies.

I always have trouble with recipes not turning out just right. This time, however, the recipe was exact! I followed it exactly as planned and it came out perfectlly browned, very very tasty. I had to make myself stay out of the dough...that was even scrumptious! Thank you for this recipe, it makes a huge amount and its going to help me get my holiday baking done a lot more efficiently.

I used butter instead of margarine, and used a melon baller to drop onto cookie sheet, baked for about 9 minutes. I was using a hand mixer, but once I added the corn flake, coconut, chip combo I just mixed with my hands, and my 3 yr. old helped and loved it! These cookies came out great. They actually remind me of a recipe from when I was little in the "Feed me I'm Yours" book, I think it was called Monster cookies? And that the recipe is not in the newest edition of that book.
