Thank you!!! After a year and about 20 batches of mediocre to horrible cookies this recipe is a huge winner. We love them!

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.

I have been making cookies for a very long time. These cookies are the best I have ever had! I do not live in a high altitude city, however, my cookies were always flat. This recipe has cured all of my problems and they are very tasty! Thank you Erik C. Where have you been all of my life!!!!!

I have been trying different high-altitude recipes, and this is by far the best!! It is the perfect recipe for my 4-year-old to help with as well. The only change we made to the recipe was to add another cup of chocolate chips. Awesome flavor and consistency! Not dry or hard, just perfect!!

I just moved to 7000 feet and was so worried about making cookies. Everything is coming out wrong from what I'm used to at moist sea level. :) These cookies, however, came out perfectly. Saving this recipe.

These cookies are awesome! Since I moved from sea level to more than a mile above it, my cookies are always a little funky. But these turned out perfect. Nice and soft inside and they store well. Thank you for sharing :)

I live in the Mile-High and I wasn't very impressed with these cookies. I followed the recipe but added another 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. They were a little cake-like. Another review said they weren't, so it depends on your definition. I will keep looking for another recipe.

Fantastic! I live at 8000 ft...the cookies came out perfect...crisp on the edge and soft and chewy in the middle. I did add an extra tsp of vanilla extract, though

These looked great, but they were HARD. Even overnight in a zipped bag they were HARD. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the taste was "missing" something.I prefer the Toll House high altitude recipe (on the bag).

I live at 6900 ft and mastered most other cookies, but not choco chip cookies. These were awesome!!! They rose well after baking and look like REAL cookies instead of the flat masses I've been making. They taste great, and have the right texture. My kids inhaled them after school today. I will make this (finally!) my new choco chip cookie recipe. Thank you!!!

These cookies turned out with an excellent consistency - slightly crispy outside and soft inside, but I found the flavor to be missing something.

Yay! It worked! I've used Toll House's high altitude recipe and it was just as flat as the orig. recipe. I've tried others that tasted cakey. This is it! Followed directions exactly but switched to Toll house at the end and added 1C. walnuts and the whole bag (2 cups) of chips. PERFECT. Consistantly baked @ 11min using a small ice cream scoop (1+TBSP maybe?) to spoon on cookie sheet. Whoohoo!!!
