I am hoping I'm missing something here. I did everything as stated in the recipes. Exact ingredients, preparation, and temperature. Yet these things are burned at half the cook time.

This recipe is awesome. My family goes wild for these cookies. I made my third batch today, and they came out nicely-the recipe is so reliable. What I love about these is that the cookie is like a bakery cookie-chewy and crispy. And it has that 'dry' bakery style texture that I really like. It doesn't squish between your teeth! For those who are having trouble with your cookies spreading out too much-your butter isn't cold enough. I use my butter straight out of the fridge. I saw the one suggestion to use half brown sugar. I tried it, but wasn't thrilled-they still tasted great, but they looked overdone. The all white sugar ones turn out beautifully. Thanks Patricia for submitting this great recipe! A keeper!

Used shortening instead of butter, and accidently added too much water. Didn't seem to make a difference. Cookies turned out crispy just was I wanted. Cookie dough was a little bland. Might add more vanilla next time.

I made these, but they puffed instead of spread and became chunky cookies.

So good! I followed the recipe pretty much as stated, using unsalted butter. I rolled my cookies into larger-sized balls (at least 2 inches), which yielded only 9 cookies instead of 12 for the half-batch that I made. I cooked them about 15-16 minutes, or until just very slightly golden on the edges, and allowed the cookies to cool almost completely on the pan before removing. The result: a large, delicious cookie that was soft in the center, and perfectly crisp on the edges; sweet, with only the very very slightest hint of saltiness from the baking soda and salt. So good!

If you're looking for a buttery crispy chocolate chip cookie, this is it!!! I'm so happy to find a recipe that makes them like this, every time. I used 3/4 brown,3/4 white sugar, and cooked for 11 minutes. Then added some chopped pecans to second half of dough and made some chocolate pecan cookies baked @ 12 minutes. These are wonderfully crispy and warm right out of the oven. Yay! :+)

in an attempt to make a softer, chewier cookie as opposed to the described crispy/hard cookie i followed another reviewer's advice and used 1¾ c. flour instead of 2, and baked for 13 minutes instead of 20. they get wonderfully thin and huge, and have a great buttery taste with crispy/chewy texture, but the crispier parts tasted like buttered popcorn at times. perhaps using less salt/unsalted butter as others have suggested would help. and they do get pretty crispy pretty fast, but cooking for less time and immediately storing them in a sealed container helps keep them chewier.

I got this recipe in 1981 in Better Homes & Gardens magazine, and since then I am wearing about 50 extra pounds, due to these cookies. These are SO GOOD, it's the only cookie my family will let me bake, since 1981.

I've made these twice now, the first time with real unsalted butter and they were FANTASTIC!! The second time I used margarine and they were definitely not the same and not as good. With real butter I give them five stars!! delicious light crunchy cookies. Very much like the ones made by my favorite bakery.

Fantastic cookie! I was hesitant when I noticed there was no brown sugar in this recipe, but the CFO of my company is a fan of CRISPY cookies so I gave this a try. HUGE, huge hit! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome recipe!

Usually I like a soft chocolate chip cookie, but there are times when I want a crisp, melt-in-your-mouth buttery chocolate chip cookie. For those times I make this cookie. It is so delicious. I have made this recipe many times and I have noticed that if I don't take my time and really mix in the baking soda that I can taste it coming through in the cookie. That is my mistake, however and not a result of this recipe or instructions. Other than that, they always turn out wonderful!

I was looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that didn't require brown sugar because I didn't have any, and came across this recipe which looked promising. I have never tried a chocolate chip cookie that I didn't like...until I had these. First off, they're really crispy because they're so flat, which really wasn't so bad. The bad part is that mine came out really salty. I mean REALLY salty. I'm not sure why no one else seemed to have this problem. I measured everything exactly as it listed. My four year old didn't even finish his cookie and I didn't bother making the whole batch.

uh-oh! These are TOO GOOD. Like some, I substituted some of the white sugar with brown sugar. I couldn't imagine a chocolate chip cookie without my favorite ingredient in it. I made them without chips, as preferred by my birthday boy and they were perfectly round, perfectly large and perfectly delicious! Right amount of chewy and crispy. AAA+

these are really crispy and chewy. they harden a little after being cooled, and my kids stopped eating them after they had a nibble. i divided the batter in two - one had chocolate chips (for kids), and the other had only nuts (for husband). it's weird because the ones with the nuts, stayed soft and i baked them the same time and took them out the accordingly. - although the dough was amazingly delicious, i will not be making this again.

I got rave reviews from everyone except my daughter, who was expecting a chewier cookie...did not add the walnuts, but instead mixed in 1/2 cup ground pecans into the batter for extra richness
