Beautiful. The ones I made looked nothing like the picture but they were sooooo good. Thanks Roxygirl! Note: I used at least 1/4 cup less of each of the sugars, with the huge amount of choc chips that much sugar isn't needed. I also had less choc chips (coz I ran out) but there were still plenty in the cookies.

The taste and texture of this cookie is truly one of the best chocolate chip cookies I have made. It is a cookie that holds its shape (doesn't spread) and is chewy and thick. I followed the recipe exactly, but I did line the cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent even more spreading. The vanilla and almond extracts combo pushes this cookie to the top of my list. When you bite into the cookie it is crunchy on the outside and chewy inside. I will certainly make this again and again! Thanks Roxygirl in Colorado for a keeper!

These are really amazingly good CC cookies. I made as stated, didn't change a thing. I actually got a little over 4 doz. 2 1/2 inch cookies. Recipe was right on. I also used the extra 1/4 cup flour. I then asked my biggest critic ( 7 year old Grandson) and he said, "they are crunchy on the outside, but chewy in the middle", kinda blew me away. BUT THAT is the kind of CC cookie I've been looking for. Hubby downed 5 of them faster then they could cool. Will add this to my favorites book. Thank you for sharing.
