Thank you very much for posting this recipe this was my first try making home made cookies and the kids loved them, this is a foolproof recipe you cant go wrong, well OK you can if you forget to watch the cookies like I did my first batch, but hey crunchy can be good, they disappeared almost as fast as the next batch. These will be made often if for nothing other than the smiles on my kid's face.

Delicious soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies! These are similiar to Nestle' Tollhouse cookies but not. The one thing I liked about this recipe is the dough was much stiffer than standard cookie dough (similiar to Mrs. Fields doughs). The cookies did not run on my cookie sheet yet they spread just right - I sometimes have difficulty with the Tollhouse recipe running and producing a flatter cookie than I'd like; I think this cookie dough is foolproof. I used butter and 3 Tablespoons of vanilla (love my vanilla) when making this recipe. I baked my cookies for about 8 minutes until they browned a bit but were soft and light in the center of the cookie. The yield is right on target at 6 dozen cookies. Thanks so much for sharing I think I've found my new chocolate chip cookie recipe!

My family has made this recipe probably 40 times since you posted it. Nice taste and texture--not greasy like Toll House. We especially love to make these as "mini-mini's" using mini chocolate chips and only a scant teaspoon of dough rolled into a ball and pressed to flatten before baking. They are bite sized and oh so cute (but you eat 3x as many of them). If you make them this small, reduce cooking time so you don't overbake (about 5 min).
