This is the best chocolate chip cookie I've EVER eaten. All I can say is...WOW!!! I am not a fan of walnuts, so I substituted macadamia nuts instead. (Maybe that's what made mine so awesome?) Anyway, thanks for the fantastic recipe - it will replace my standard tollhouse cookie recipe, hands down!

Wow! These were such a big hit in my house. Instead of adding almonds I added coconut to half of the batch and they were awesome!I think this will now be our new favorite chocolate chip cookie. I've made these a couple more times since my first review. Real butter is a must. We love these.

THE best chocolate chip recipe I have found. Cookies hold their shape and don't spread out too much. My new favorite!!!!

The 1st batch got great reviews and I thought they were pretty good (although I don't really like chocolate chip cookies) -- however I made a couple of modifications. I used unsalted butter and added 1/4 t salt; increased the amount of *coarsely* chopped nuts to about 1/2 cup each; chopped the white chocolate chips so that they weren't as prominent (to avoid the "Oh, are these *white* chocolate cookies?" question) and I used a small cookie scoop instead of "heaping spoonfuls" -- which, of course, changed the cooking time to about 8-9 minutes. Yummmmmmmmm.

I will never make a different kind of cookie ever again. Beware that these cookies are kryptonite if you're trying to watch what you eat because once you start you can't stop! They are so soft and wonderful the three different kinds of chips make these cookies unique and so delectable. Instead of using the different nuts the recipe calls for I used macademia nuts instead, just a personal preference. I don't see how this recipe can go wrong though. I got so so so many rave reviews for them and people saying "you HAVE to get me that recipe, those cookies were amazing!" I made them for a party and a little 8 year old boy stood by the table and ate half of them and would yell every once in awhile and say "These cookies are SO GOOD!" They are loved by people of all ages. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! I don't think I will ever make a different cookie recipe again, this is the one!

I'm not a fan of flat cookies. I like them chunky, thick, and well-formed. But the taste reviews were so great for these that I had to try them. Well, after reading the other reviews and putting all the "tweaks" together, I have to admit that this is an awesome cookie! For those of you that are interested, here is what I did--no flatties here! 1. Used 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup butter-flavored shortening, 2. reduced white sugar to 1/2 cup, 3. added 1/2 cup finely processed rolled oats, 4. omitted baking soda altogether, 5. increased vanilla to 2tsp (just cuz I love vanilla :) ) I used milk chocolate, semi-sweet, and butterscotch chips; walnuts, pecans, and macadamias (just personal preference) and reduced amounts to 1/3cup each for chips, and 1/4cup each for nuts since I used only half the dough for these. To the rest of the dough I added chopped maraschino cherries, white chips, and macadamias. I chilled the dough thoroughly then rolled into balls and baked on parchment paper. No sticking, no flat cookies...just beautiful, chunky, heavenly tasting gems! Even better after a day or two. Thanks for a great recipe to work from!

The nut and chip combo is great, but the amount of white sugar can be reduced greatly....way too sweat.

I don't know what I did wrong, but mine turned out nothing like the pictures. I didn't add the nuts b/c my dd hates nuts, but they were as flat as pancakes & crispy. I was hoping for a hearty cookie & this didn't even get close.

I've searched for quite awhile, for a good old-fashioned chocolate chip recipe, but I think I have met my goal with these! I just made a batch (froze the rest of the dough in a log), and I had to make them without the nuts...since I'm taking them to work and have a lot of picky colleagues..LOL. But they are WONDERFUL. I love the way they look, and the texture is perfect. It gives a little tiny crisp at first bite, with a soft and chewy center. I halved the white sugar, and I baked at 325 for 10 minutes (I think my oven is hyperactive and reads higher than it is set to).. but next time, I will lessen the sugars even more..and add all the nuts! Thank you, Wendy! Your talent has made a lot of happy cookie eaters. :-)
