They really are nice and soft and chewy! The kids love them. One son actually asked for a batch with no chocolate chips!!! He just wants the cookie part cause it's so good. The only thing I did differently was to add the sugars to the butter when I creamed them because the butter and liquids never came together for me. Great recipe, Tracy! -
I thought these were a little on the greasy side. If I make them again, I will cut back on the butter a bit. They had a nice flavor, however. -
Brittany knows her cookies! These were very good and my kids loved them too. Using one inch balls, this recipe makes far more than 4 dozen cookies. It could be halved. These are so good warm from the oven, I just kept half the dough in the fridge to bake another time. -
First cookies I have ever made from scratch that my family ate and liked! Stephanie -
They were okay but I'll go back to my old recipe.

I am a married mom of two, a 10 yr old daughter and a 17 month old son. I love to cook and bake. I have a little chi dog named Babydog Graves and he is about 6 pounds, full grown, my buddy! I dream of one day my hubby and I taking a trip to Jamaica and having a romantic time. I enjoy being a full time stay at home mom and wife to a terrific man.
