Holy Cow! These turned out fantastic! My flour and chocolate chips were both cold (it's been hot, so I've been keeping them in the freezer and fridge, respectively), so that may have helped stop any spreading out. I also made them a bit smaller than the recipe. Whatever it was, they stayed really moist in the center and got a touch crispy at the outside edge. Yum!

In the 'ingredients' section, the recipe calls for 1 (one) egg. In the 'directions' section, it says to 'add eggs one at a time'!! So do I add only one egg or two or more eggs! Come on, give me a break! I made the recipe two times; once with one egg and the second time with two eggs. I would suggest two eggs. I also revised the menu and added bananas and transformed the cookies into banana (bread) (cake)? Why? Because the cookies were like bread. My mistake was to stack them! When they cooled, I couldn't peel them apart! Hence, banana bread!

The best! I am not a fan of the common, Toll House typr chocolate chip cookies. We have a bakery down the street that has big, crisp cookies like this and I have such a weakness for them. Well, they are $1.75 each there and I made this recipe EXACTLY the way it is written with no modifications and THESE ARE BETTER THAN MY BAKERY DOWN THE STREET!!!! These are the BEST!

Didn't care much for the flavour, plus they were a little too chewy.

These cookies are fabulous! I bake them with the Nestles peanut butter/milk chocolate chip combo and use the Pampered Chef large scoop. I get rave reviews every time.

Definitely different from the Toll House recipe we’re all familiar with, but that’s not a bad thing. I like to have a variety of cookies for the holidays, and this is one of our favorites! My daughter doesn’t like the traditional Toll House cookies because she feels like the chewy texture means they’re not “done.” I still make the Toll House cookies, but these are a wonderful addition to the holiday cookie jar. I first made them exactly as the recipe was written. The second time I made them, I added a tablespoon of dry cocoa powder to the flour mixture. We felt it was an improvement, but they’re excellent without it, too.

These cookies sure are giant, but they're disgusting too! Too greasy, too thin and too hard! I only made half the batch and all the cookies flattened to a thin paper so it covered the whole cookie sheet, only thing that was 3-d still were the chips itself! I still have 1/2 the other batch, I might try adding more flour to try to save it, but I'm definitely not trying this again.

If you're looking for a crispy cookie, this recipe is a very good choice. The texture is perfect, smooth and not too crispy but not soft either. I have tried over 40 CC cookie recipes, and this is one of the few chocolate chip cookie recipes that I am really pleased with. However, I would omit the salt and I used 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup light brown sugar.

I found these cookies to be PERFECT but for those who want a softer cookie use 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar. It also helps to store them in a plastic zip loc bag.

I did a few alterations to these cookies and they turned out wonderful! I used 1 3/4 cups of flour instead of 2 cups, added a tablespoon of unsweeted applesauce, omitted the walnuts and only cooked them for 11 minutes. I think the reason they might have turned out hard with others is that they were being overcooked at the 20-23 minutes. Thanks so much for sharing Patricia.

A bit too crisp. I tried to reduce the cooking time but they still turned out to hard on the teeth. As a new cook if I knew what in the recipe made them so crunchy I would reduce that item.

Nice cookie -- much too hard (the next day) for my taste, though. When I read "crisp" I thought of a thin crispy wafer kind of thing, but this was much more like a Chips Ahoy kind of chunky thing.

I halved this recipe just to try it out - i should have greased the pan even though the recipe says not to bc the cookies were stuck to the pan and tooo thin. I'm not a master chef or anything so it could have been my fault but it was a disappointment after all the time i put in.
