To be fair, the review is of an amended version of the cookies, per many other reviewers recommendations. I wanted a thicker cookie, so I substitute shortening for butter. For us, without butter, the cookies had a funky undertone that we did not like. The cookies were also not thick, so, the flatter butter versions probably wouldn't be our cup of tea either.

I was not impressed with this recipe. The cookies came out very flat and didn't stay together... even after cooled. I also thought they tasted more like sugar cookies with chocolate chips in them. Will Not use this recipe again!

A very good recipe that lends itself to endless possabilities. I used 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour, 1/4 cup oat flour, and 1/4 cup almond flour. I used pecans instead of walnuts and chopped up a granola bar and added it too. I used a mix of milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips and mini chips. I made a few giant cookies and some smaller (but still large cookies) - the giant ones were slightly crumbly, either due to not being cooked long enough or maybe some of my modifications - the smaller ones were perfect.

These cookies are wonderful! I made them with milk chocolate chips, and my dad came home from work and had one, then asked if they were the store bought break and bake kind. He is the 'one to please' when it comes to cookies, and these definitely passed his test. Very good.

I made this recipe without the nuts because my boyfriend doesn't like nuts in his sweets! They were delicious and disappeared very quickly!!

These were really good! Crispy on the edge, chewy in the middle. I too changed it up a little. I used Butter Flavored Crisco instead of butter, I also added 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 baking powder, and eliminated the nuts but added more chips! Very good! The true test will be when my son comes home from school and gives the thumbs up.
