great

Very good recipe. Slightly crispy edges and chewy centers(as long as you don't overcook them). Family loved them. Made about 3 doz. using recipe shown.

mmmm, chewy and tasty. i halved the recipe and even used cake flour (only thing i had) instead of all-purpose and it worked well. was still chewy after a day :)

These cookies come out huge. They are so good it's hard not to eat them as soon as they come out of the oven. The whole house smells like a bakery. My husband took these to work and one guy at practically thi whole bunch.

I just finished making this cookie recipe. I agree with another review saying it is missing something. Its not bad, but its not what I was expecting. I took half and did it with the baking soda, and the other half I did the baking powder. There really wasnt much difference. I am also really glad I read the reviews for how many cookies it made, I almost doubled it. I made at least 3 dozen cookies. Again, it wasnt bad, just something tastes like it was missing. And maybe I need the cookies to sit a little while.

I wouldn't say that these are the "best", but they are pretty darn tasty. I scoured this website looking for a decent C.C.C recipe, and I wasn't disappointed with this one! The cookies came out light and fluffy, and had great flavor. I don't know if this comes from the butter being chilled when you make the dough and then it melts more into the cookie?! But they were definitely tasty, and I would make them again! Not floury tasting at all, and I like the fact that the butter didn't have to be at room temperature, makes it easy to be spontaneous when craving chocolate chip cookies! I also used parchment paper sprayed really lightly once with cooking spray. The cookies came off easily and were perfectly golden brown. Even the next day they were still crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. Would make again for sure.

I'm not very good at baking cookies. This is the first chocolate chip cookie recipe I have used where the cookies perfect!!!

These cookies were great!! Very moist and soft

These cookies came out tasting like ones you would buy at the bakery!! Yummy!!! Thanks for the great recipe!

Wonderful! My kids and I love them.

This recipe was bland. After reading the reviews, I was expecting a much more tasty cookie. But this is just a basic chocolate chip cookie. There's no "WOW factor." I've found much better on this site. And unfortunately, I won't be making this one again.

I made these for Christmas. The recipie was SUPER easy and the cookies came out nice. I was hoping for a fluffier cookie. The edges of these do get crispy adn the middle does stay softer. So they are true to the description. I did substitute the baking powder instead of what it called for hoping for extra fluffiness. If you want a cookie that has crispness and softness this is the cookie for you. I will be on the lookout for a fluffier one just due to personal preferences.

I thought that all chocolate chip cookies were the same before I made this recipe, but I was wrong. These are the absolute best and I will never use another recipe!!!! My cookies were just crispy enough on the outside and so soft on the inside that they melted in my mouth. I got similar responses from my friends and now they all request cookie for birthday presents. To those who said the cookies were too flat, try not over stirring and be sure to put the dough in the fridge for a few hours before baking. I also added a bit more vanilla and a dash of cinnamon, and that might help anyone who feels the recipe is missing something.

Cookies came out yummy :) So I used that quantity changer because I thought it really was for "12." I didn't only want a dozen cookies that I could maybe finish in one day with my family so I upped it to 18. I also used the suggestions people had - 1 tablespoon of vanilla and substitute a bit of baking powder for the baking soda. Mine definitely didn't come out flat like everyone elses. Since it didn't come out flat, it didn't expand to be gigantic. I made about 40-48 cookies (I like smaller cookies 3"). I used what the ingredients said if you change the quantity to 18. The things I changed were: 1. 1 tablespoon + a bit more of vanilla extract (the taste came out great), 2. 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (this caused them to come out very fluffy.. I suggest using maybe 1 1/4 baking soda, 1/4 baking powder so they're not flat), and 3. I used 1 cup and 4.5 tablespoons of butter. all in all, the cookies tasted great. My automatic scaling thing and maybe too much baking powder made them too fluffy. Good easy recipe!

I took a batch of these with me to my theatre youth group and I didn't have any leftovers. I added more chocolate and mint chips. I also added an extra tsp of vanilla. They were thinner, which made them chewy,,,,yummy!

THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES YOU'LL EVER MAKE. I had to put that in caps because I'm SO serious. I didn't have enough butter so I used half butter flavored crisco and half butter. DELICIOUS. ***NOTE: I thought 12 servings meant a dozen cookies. Aparently not, I doubled the recipe and got 70. YES, 70. I used one of those medium pampered chef cookie scoops so they were all measured evenly.

This is the recipe I've been searching for! The cookies are perfectly crispy around the edges but chewy in the middle. They are nice and thin, not cakelike--perfect! I might add a tad more salt, but this recipe is now my ONLY recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't have a full cup of butter so i used a half cup of margarine and a half cup of sour cream. i also didn't have the full amount of chips so i used what i had and then eye balled some coconut, raisins and walnuts. as well iused whole wheat flour. they came out great. fluffy almost like cake batter but really nice despite all my subs of ingredients.

Delicious, simple recipe!
