This is my "go-to" cookie, with one change. I add about 3/4 cup of quick cooking oats to the batter. This helps them keep their shape and makes them very crisp. They freeze well, if there are any left over.

I have tried many different chocolate chip cookie recipes and keep coming back to this one. They may be a little flat but who cares! They taste fantastic. A family favorite.

I love these cookies! This is my go-to recipe for cookies. To make sure it doesn't go flat, first, make sure that you cream the butter when the butter is room temperature. If the butter is cold, it will not cream correctly and it will leave big butter chunks in your batter, which will melt and flatten your cookies during baking. If you notice that your batter is too sticky, put the batter in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up. The cookies will come out perfect every time.

HELPFUL TIPS THAT WORK FOR ME: These never go wrong, but I find cookie recipes turn out different as far as thickness by the ingredients and temperatures you use them at. They turn out SO MUCH BETTER when you use eggs AND butter that are at room temperature. I always increase the vanilla, and you'll notice almost all other chocolate chip recipes on here have more as well because it tastes better! :) I also blend half chocolate chip&half semisweet chocolate chips. Makes a huge difference in the blend of flavors! MY SECRET: Add 1/8-1/4C andes mint chips in place of some of the cc, and everyone will beg for more!! Always hand mix recipes like this! No mixers or your cookie will be flat! My husband likes to microwave the cookies a tad & then of course eat w/a glass of milk. Now my son copies him. :) Though this is the recipe I've turned to for years, when I tried "Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie" on here & followed the advice of some reviews ...I switched. They found the secret to the biggest, chewiest cookie with the right mixture of sweetness!

This is a good recipe, but instead I used 1/2cup of crisco shortening and a 1/2 cup of butter instead of soda ,I used baking powder and cut back on each of the sugars by 1/4 cup. bake 9-11 minutes and cool on wax paper with 4or5 sheets of newspaper underneath the wax paper.

These cookies are superb! Is suggest refrigerating the batter while you wait for another batch to cook. It keeps the batter from melting and letting your cookies go flat.

Flavor is ok, but I have gone back and tried these year after year thinking it just must be me, but these cookies are sooooooooo flat once they cool. I quite using this recipe a couple of years ago because I got tired of wasting my time and ingredients. If you like fluffy and chewy chocolate chip cookies - this is definitely NOT the recipe for you. I am still in search of the perfect cc cookie recipe!

These cookies are delicious but turn out flat if you use butter. I used Smart Balance and they keep their shape, are better for you and taste great. I also used egg whites instead of eggs.

My 13 year old daughter just made a batch of these. She asked for the milk chocolate chips instead of the semi sweet because she thinks the semi sweet are bitter. I have never had them with milk chocolate chips. Boy are they good. There are hardly any left.

These cookies will always be the best!! I always make mine a LITTLE different.. I used 1 crisco butter flavored stick, 2 cups of flour and no nuts.. I cook at 350 degrees and always preheat the oven with the cookie sheet inside so you start off with a warm pan!!

NOT cool. These cookies have the worst presentation in the WORLD! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO flat!! I should have added more flour than the recipe called for. Maybe they wouldn't be so flat. The chips are elevated above the rest of the cookie. This is bad. I will NEVER make these again! Try "Best Chocolate Chip cookies" those are my all time FAVORITES! These are just not cool.

This one was one of the first cookies I made by myself, without help. I think we all learn this one first, don't we? Sometimes, I'll change it up and do 2 c. of flour and 1/4 c. of cocoa powder. This is also great if you freeze it in little balls and then stir it into Five Minute Ice Cream!
