Shirley Corriher's Chocolate Chip Cookies, Medium Version

The thin version was previously posted here as Recipe #80739"

My son is always asking for chocolate chip cookies that are crisp on the outside, but soft and gooey on the inside. I've found them! Hope they ship well, because I'm going to ship them to him at college. I did lower the cooking temp to 350 degrees, but otherwise I made as posted. Thanks for sharing! -
Made these according to the recipe (no changes) & the two of us chocoholics here are enjoying them as great chocolate hits! Very, very nice! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe] -
Just loved these cookies!!! I made them to the recipe except that I used all purpose flour and 6 oz's mini chocolate chips. I love the contrasting sweet and salty flavors in a good chocolate chip cookie and this recipe has that great balance. Mine turned out like the recipe states, not flat and crispy but not real soft and fluffy. I think the only thing I would change is to cook it at 350 degrees for the full 12 mins, as I had to turn down the temp and cook them about 10 mins. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe that we will repeat!! Made for 123 Tag Game. -
I didn't let the cookies in the oven for 12 minutes. At 10 minutes they were golden on the sides. And then I let them 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet and then removed them to cool. They're moist and so yummy. It's hard to resist. Thanks Chocolatl :) Made for Holiday tag game -
This recipe made really fluffy cookie dough! I got 30 cookies, which came out just like your average, "medium" chocolate chip cookies. The mix of butter and shortening, which I haven't used before in a cookie, is what gave that in between texture. This is a great cooking lesson! Thanks, Chocolatl!
