These cookies came out perfect!!! Having lived at sea level most of my life I have really no idea how to bake at high altitude, this recipe took the guess work out for me. I made 1/2 the recipe then added 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup toffee peices. Both cookies were great. Thank you for this recipe.

These cookies have fantastic texture, but they are SO bland!! Only 1/2 tsp salt to 3 1/2 cups of flour? The flavor is very noticeably lacking. To keep the salt/flour ratio the same as Tollhouse's recipe, I would use at least 1 1/4 tsp salt. That is the only change I would make, though, because they bake absolutely perfectly. Not flat at all, with a great chew. If the salt adjustment works, I will never make another recipe again!

I so wanted this to turn out well. The reviews were so encouraging. I'm at 6500 ft The cookies were too flat and sugary. There wasn't enough substance to the cookie. It was like a few choc chips held together with sugar and butter. I'm going to try the toll house version next. :(

I live @ 9000 feet in Colorado so baking can be a challenge. These cookies are REALLY good, my boys and husband loved them. I made only two adjustments to the recipe; used 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of chocolate chips. This is a keeper. ********UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I used Splenda in place of the white sugar. The brown sugar and the 2 cups of chocolate chips were just right for sweetness. Cookies were not flat they were soft and chewy with texture.

7500 Ft...I like the Tollhouse high altitude recipe better so far...I will keep searching for a better one. These were lacking a little in flavor, and need more chocolate chips. They did not seem to bake up any more than normal recipes.

Thank you! Finally a chocolate chip cookie that works at my altitude. My kids are thrilled not to have the flat gross cookies anymore.

I live at 9200 feet....These are absolutely delicious...They work every time. Just don't over bake...let the bottoms only get lightly browned and they will be perfect!

I made these with my 7th grade Home Ec students. Then we packaged them up and gave them to the teachers with hand made Christmas cards. They were a huge hit! Everyone is asking for the recipe.
