I was in the process of making my famous apple cake with cinnamon and nuts for a nice dessert, when I realized that my two nephews might not care for that kind of dessert. So I found the H & H's cookies, what a treat!!! They loved them. I them very easy to make, the dough came out very good. I cut back on the amount of chocolate chips to 1/2 cup and baked them closer to 10 minutes than eight (8). When my nephews left I put the "remaining" cookies in a Ziploc for them to enjoy in the car on their way to vacationing in Maine from Florida, passing through Connecticut to visit their uncle who always makes them a treat. These Half and Halfes were great!!!

Just pulled the first batch out of the oven. These are fabulous!! I used semisweet chips, CookinginFL's method of assembly and baked at 350 for 10 minutes. They taste great and are just too cute. Planning on making ice cream sandwiches with them, if I don't eat them all. The presentation factor and yumminess of two cookies in one was definitely worth the bit of extra time. My thanks for such a great recipe and to those who have been talking about it and posting photos of the cookies lately.

I am giving 3 stars for the cookie, but would give 5 stars for the idea. I made them using Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and Best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from this site. I halved both recipies. I am not sure why others said it was more work. I just put a spoon full of each on the pan and fit them together. They were easy and yummy. I would definately make this again with the other recipes (the second way I tried it). Look them up!

YUMMY!! Made exactly as written...but increased cooking temp. to 350 (baked for 9 minutes). To form the cookies, I made small balls out of both types of dough. I placed the 'plain' ball on the cookie sheet, then placed a double chocolate one on top of those, pressed down slightly; then turned it on its side, pressing down slightly again. Very tasty...this concept could be done w/ all sorts of cookies. :)

I don't really like chocolate chip cookies but these are fabulous!!! I did use white chips in the chocolate cookie part and the contrast of flavors was so good. I might just make these as regular chocolate chip cookies because they stayed so soft and chewy. Thank you for a great recipe!!

I'm giving these 4 stars because the taste is great, but a little more work than I like to do all the time for a cookie! I did use white chips in the chocolate side of the cookie and increased the oven temp to 350 and they turned out much better! I will make these again, just not an everyday cookie for me! Thanks for the great recipe though!

These cookies are great! I was a little worried because the base isn't my usual cookie base, but these are great! I followed the recipe to a tee, except I baked from 8-10 min at 350, per prior reviews. I found it easiest to "plop" all of the vanilla cookie dough on the sheet first because it was a little more wet. Then, I plopped the choc cookie dough beside and and molded the seams. Thanks for a great cookie recipe! *UPDATE* Still AMAZING! I froze half and thawed a week later for a family get together and they will as delicious as they were fresh. This is my new "go to" cookie recipe. *UPDATE #2* I just made these again and wanted to add the recipe as is made 42 "half & half" cookies + 6 all chocolate (umm, I ate some of the "white" dough :)). I figured out what's so great about the consistency, too...they don't fall! They stay exactly the same as when you take them out of the oven.

My daughter picked this recipe out. What a fun concept. Tasty too!

The flavor seemed a little "un-sweet" to me, so I sprinkled them with powdered sugar before and after baking. The temperature was low, so had to raise it to 350 - cooked for 14 minutes per batch.

Pretty good. A little time consuming to make but not too bad. Something seemed to be lacking in the dough - maybe it needed that extra 1/4 cup of sugar? Maybe it's because I mixed all the dough at one time. Then I added 1 cup of coarsely chopped macadamias (1/2 cup probably would have been better). Then I divided the dough, added the cocoa to one half, and added 3/4 cup white chocolate chips to the chocolate half and 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips to the other half. I used a mini ice cream scoop for both halves and pushed the seems together. I needed to bake at 350º for about 14 mins. and got almost 4 dozen cookies. I plan to make again next week for a fund raiser I need to bake for.

absolutely fantastic!! they were gone in a day! A big hit with all the little kids on my street great recipe

I baked these at 350 for 12-14 minutes, which is longer than average, because I think my oven is weak. These cookies are really fun to make with a partner! You can each be in charge of one mixing bowl.

I loved the idea of it and they came out as really yummy cookies. But for some reason my family hasn't gobbled them up, some in my family have only eaten the one side, and left the other uneaten.

I only made two changes...I added 1/2 teasp baking powder in addition to the 1/4 baking soda and I used Chocolate Chunks on the chocolate side. The BEST cookie I have ever made....they were so big and fluffy. I did put them down on the cookie sheet and first and then seal the seam. Thanks SO much for sharing. They were awesome.

5***** stars for the concept alone! I did alter the recipe to match my favorite cookie recipes. The reg chocolate chip part I did 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 3/4 cup softened butter. The chocolate choc chip I did 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. The rest I left the same and did semi-sweet choc chips in both. Absolutely delicous and nice and big and puffy. I always add in baking powder to my cookies to guarantee they wont flatten. I think it is easier to drop the choc chip scoops directly onto the baking sheet then drop the choc choc chip scoop right next to it and gently mold it together with your hands. AWESOME!
