These were a nice surprise. I added some ginger and it didn't really need it, but it complemented the other flavors. It confused people when I told them they were spicy, but everyone loved them. Definitely worth trying.

Much MUCH too thin... too thin to get off the pan and keep together. I'm sure they would have been great otherwise. next time I'll add more flour.

These are, by far, the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made. This is my "go-to" recipe whenever I need to bake cookies for my family, my friends, or myself! A few changes I make: I refrigerate or freeze the cookie dough so that it is very cold. Then I roll each piece of cookie dough in powdered sugar, place the cookie on the cookie sheet, and press down with a glass dipped in powdered sugar. I bake the cookies for a few less minutes than the recipe calls for. This way, the cookies come out a little crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside, and stay that way even after they cool.

These were good cookies. I might add a little more spice in the future though.

As others suggested, I doubled some of the spices. They really add that special something. My new favorite chocolate chip cookie!

Good flavor, crispy but a little too thin.

Very good chocolate chip cookies. Only spicy because I added 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, though - otherwise they'd be fairly non-spicy but good chocolate chip cookies. Chewy, crunchy, good cookies and with my addition, truly zippy! Other than that, followed recipe to letter.

These were very good. I upped the spices to 1/2 tsp. each and added about 1/4 tsp of ginger. It made about 50 cookies.

The title is right to call them slightly spicy. I didn't have any cloves, but still didn't think they were any better or worse without the spices. Being in CO, they turned out a little flat so make sure you adjust for high altitude. They were good, but I'll just make the back of the bag recipe next time.

Oh yeah! I'm always looking for a good chocolate chip cookie and these are off the hook! I doubled the nutmeg and cinnamon; only a few drop of the almond extract. I had semi-sweet mini morsels on hand and they worked great. This recipe is a keeper!

I doctored these up a bit. First, I left out the chocolate chips so that I'd be left with a spice cookie. Then, I added more spice-- 1 t. cinnamon, 1/2 t. nutmeg, 1/4 t. cloves, and 1/4 t. ginger. I also mixed the butter-sugar-egg mixture on high until it was really light and frothy before I added the dry mixture. The cookies turned out flat yet chewy--very good texture and taste. I got 30 cookies out of this and baked them for 10 minutes.

These are some of the best cookies I've ever made! I added Oatmeal and omitted the almond extract. My husband ate them up faster than I did. We LOVED the extra spice to them. WONDERFUL!

I'm tired of the same old Tollhouse cookies. These cookies are a nice change! I increased the cinnamon to 1/4t and added toasted chopped walnuts. Yum! Thanks for a unique cookie,Sandra.
