EXCELLENT! All my friends ask for this recipe. I make large batches, make the cookie balls, flash freeze them and store them in a zip loc bag to bake a few at a time at a later date.

O.K.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are still more cookies left to bake but I couldn't wait to tell everyone how awesome these really are!!!!!!!! At first I thought they were so thick and cake-like but as they cooled they flatened down. Resulting in a perfect light & crispy cookie with a very moist and chewy inside.Absolutely awesome!! I will never use another recipe again!!

***UPDATE: I'd sort of forgotten about this recipe in my quest for trying out other choc chip cookie recipes, but I have to say, this one still heads my list. I think I'll stop the search. :-) Made them with semi-sweet chips (my fave!) and all three kinds of nuts. SO good and buttery-flavorful! They're not made with shortening (a plus; no transfats) & they hold up well after they've cooled down. Thanks again, Wendy! Jan 26, 2004: Of the chocolate chip cookie recipes I've tried so far on this website, this one is my fave. They have buttery-crisp edges, and that is the way I like them. I only used one kind of chip (milk chocolate for DSD's sake), and one kind of nut (pecans); but the cookie itself is of the texture that I like. They're addicting! Thanks, Wendy.

If there was a definition of chocolate chip cookie in the dictionary, a picture of "Stephen's Chocolate Chip Cookies" would be beside it. My search for the perfect chocolate chip cookie began and ended with this recipe!!! These are ideal...slightly crispy around the edges and wonderfully chewy in the centre. I used cold butter when making these, and had no problems with them being too flat. A truly gourmet cookie is not "puffy" anyway. As for cookies sticking to the baking sheet, might I suggest parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Also do as indicated in the recipe and allow cookies to cool for the specified time on the baking sheet. One more thing, I found these were the best when cooked between 8-9 minutes. Wendy, these are restaurant quality cookies, and my family says a big THANK YOU!!!

This is the perfect cookie! Anyone who rated this less than a five must have done something wrong. I have tried cookie recipe after cookie recipe, and this one is by far the best. I don't understand how some have said that its too flat, it came out EXACTLY how a cookie is supposed to come out. If you want something fluffy, bake a cake. Your school has served you well, my friend, many many thanks.

My husband's name is Stephen so I just had to bake these! We omitted all nuts and used only 1 cup of morsels. I used 1/2 cup of butter flavored shortening and 1/2 cup of butter brought to room temperature. As such, this recipe rated a 5. If we had made them according to recipe, more gourmet, I might have had to petition for 10 stars! These did spread out and become rather thin - which we like. They were crunchy onthe outside and chewy on the inside. They taste heavenly; somewhat similar taste to Toll House, that means comfort food to me! These were easy to make and smelled wonderfully baking, thanks Wendy for sharing with us. Yum!

Warning! These are absolutely irresistable! My husband and I have been looking for a perfect choc. chip cookie recipe that cooks up just right and tastes perfect. THIS IS IT!!! Never will I try another recipe- this is unreal. It cooks exactly like I like my cookies. My husband can't stop eating them. I am telling you- THIS IS IT!! They don't get any better. I am sure you could leave out the nuts or whatever you like and it would still be perfect. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Try these!!!!

My husband's favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe is one that I have been making for years from King Arthur Flour (it is no longer on their website, or I would direct you there). Anyway, everytime I make a different chocolate chip cookie my husband will say "it's good, but it's not as good as my favorite". I made this recipe, using King Arthur organic whole wheat white flour, all three chips, and pecans only. "Oh, no, these are as good as my favorites and now I won't know which to ask for!" cried hubby. That makes these crispy cookies one darn good cookie!
