THANK you! I have been searching for a good high altitude cookie recipe, and you provided it! My cookies came out looking puffy and beautiful---no more pancakes! I added more chocolate chips, about a 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds and about a cup of fresh cranberries and it still came out awesome.

These didn't taste right at all. Way to cakey. We are at 7500 ft, so will just have to give up chocolate chip if I cannot find a different recipe.

I live in Bogotá, Colombia (9000 ft) and all I can say about this recipe is THANK YOU. Homemade chocolate chip cookies is something us ex-pats really miss here! I made this recipe exactly as is and the cookies turned out perfectly. I took them to a dinner party--they were devoured in 10 minutes flat!! Everyone asked for the recipe.

Finally, after over 40 years at high altitude a perfect cookie. I refridgerated the dough first and cooked them for a full 15 minutes on a silicone sheet. Lots of smiles at my house tonight.

YES! These were good cookies. I live in Colorado I'm only at 5300 ft and I never really had a cookie problem but it's a problem I never made these cookies! You can tell in the first steps of making these they are going to be good. I doubted the recipe cause it seemed too simple but they were great. They look just like the picture posted. I'm a clumsy cook, meaning 1/4 tsp of salt means me accidently dumping most the salt in the bowl and the recipe stood against my foolishness in the kitchen. I messed this recipe up pretty good and my husband still loved them. I will most definately make these cookies again. Hope I don't goof next time :)

This recipe is great for all those who live at a high altitude. After moving from CA to AZ I have finally found a chocolate chip cookie recipe that tastes and looks like a cookie! Stir by hand and bake for 15 minutes and only put one cookie sheet in the oven at a time. Place cookies in a air tight container while they are still warm. Delicious!!!

I made these cookies yesterday and I am disappointed! We live at 8394' altitude west of Denver in the mountains; the cookies looked and tasted wonderful fresh from the oven! I stored them in my cookie jar which has a tight fitting lid immediately after cooling BUT, the next day they were as hard as a rock! I'd like to try altering the recipe and see if I can get a softer cookie.

I'm a Colorado/Denver area native, and have tried so many recipes. This tastes good but still spreads and is kind of thin. Not AS thin as the others, but still thinner than I had hoped. Next time I'm going to try using half shortening (butter flavored) and half butter to see if that helps.

Colorado-spent several years trying to make chocolate chip cookies that didn't go flat. This is the recipe! Thick and tasty! Great standby, will make again. May add more vanilla next time for more flavor. Great dunking cookies!

YUM! For two years I've been trying to make good chocolate chip cookies in Colorado Springs. They are always flavorless. This recipe is perfect!!! I did use half wheat and half white flour. Good thing I only made a half-batch, because I cannot stop eating them!

These were not cookies. Instead, I made mini "cakes". Not to mention how bland and salty they were. I'm going to try the Tollhouse recipe for high altitude next- got to make it up to the kids! (I'm at 5,500 feet)

Did NOT work at 9000+ feet! Very flat and slightly flavorless. Bummer, still looking for a good cookie recipe.

The cookie tastes alright, but just like every other cookie I have tried these sunk the minute they came out of the oven. I guess I'll keep looking.

I added some more chocolate chips and rolled the portions into balls. They turned out puffy and delicious. Used dorm room oven AND they turned out wonderfully! I'll post my pictures as soon as I can. Thank you!

I moved to Evanston WY three years ago, which is 6850 above sea level. Im from the midwest and never had a problem making cookies untill i moved here. I have tried several chocolate chip recipes and none worked untill i tried this one. I just follwed the directions and got perfect cookies. I will use this recipe again.

We live at 5,000 feet and these are by far the very best cookies I've made in years! Until 2000 I lived at sea level and have really struggled with baking at altitude. Please post more 'altitude friendly' baked goods recipes....you are my hero!!

I have MASTERED sea level toll house, but 9000 ft altitude is another story. I have attempted this recipe several times...with extra flour and less cooking time they don't go too flat, but they don't have a yummy buttery flavor at all. Not sure if it is possible to replicate a sea-level perfect CC cookie but I will keep trying.

Thank you for saving me from flat cookies. I've lived in CO for about a year and can't adjust my cooking to the altitude. I followed your recipe and cookies were fat and chewy.
