These are by far the best chocolate chip cookies. They are just the way I like them - soft and chewy. They don't flatten out into crispy frisbies like some other recipes do. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

This makes a ton of cookes, but they were very very good. I used the chocolate chunks and I used splenda for baking for the brown sugar and it turned out perfect...

This is another recipe I made to help out some neighbor kids with their cookie sale, & these cookies went over in a big way, but then chocolate chip cookies usually do, I think! I did use a dark brown sugar, which I thought added a nice touch, & also used slivered almonds! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
