153 Reviews of Lisa's Swirled Chocolate Chip Cookies

Excellent cookies!!! I made half a batch since I only had one bag of chips. I used 1/2 cup white sugar and 3/4 cup brown as it was easier than measuring 5/8 cup of each. I used real butter and followed the recipe exactly otherwise. Even though placing the chips on top was a little more time consuming than just mixing them all in, it does give the cookies a neat look in the end. Thanks so much, Kristen, for a lovely recipe!!

    OK, what do you do when you can't sleep and are wide awake at 5:00 in the morning? Why you make these wonderful cookies....that's what you do, ha, ha ha. Seriously, I did, and they are wonderful. Since I had no idea I was going to do these, I had to make them with semi-sweet chips. But I can't wait to make them again with the "swirl" chips. These cookies are soft and ooey-gooey. Thanks for sharing, KC Cooker.

    Very good cookie; soft and moist. I scaled down the recipe to 24 servings and used 2 eggs instead of the scaled down 1 1/3. First 2 batches were baked on a Cushionaire cookie sheet (the kind with the air pocket in between top and botton layers of the cookie sheet)and they spread more than I liked. Last batch was made on a cheap cookie sheet, darker than the 1st one I used and baked beautifuly. They didn't spread too thin like the first 2 batches. You do need to reduce baking time and probably temperature when baking on the darker cookie sheets. I will be making these again!

    Very good, sweet cookie. Easy recipe. WARNING.. take them out of the oven when they are just starting to turn golden. The dough does look dry and crumbly. I was worried about this. But they turned out fine. I only added 3 cups of chips (half swirl, half semi sweet) which seemed to be alot. This is the recipe I'll stick with for now on. YUM!!

    Wonderful cookies! Tender with a great texture, exactly the way a cookie should be. I loved the idea of putting the swirls on top, it only took a minute and looked great as evidenced by Marg's beautiful picture. I also made a half batch, using a heaping 1/2 c for each sugar. The kids and their friends loved these! Thanks, KC, for some very yummy cookies!

    These were amazing. I used a mixture of chocolate, butterscotch,and pecan halves. Watch close so they are only lightly browned if you want them to stay chewy.

    I just happened to have swirl chips when I came across this recipe. KC, you have a keeper! I was so delighted that these turned out so well! I halved the recipe, but was worried when the dough appeared a little dry and crumbly. I ended up mixing the flour in with my hands-just seemed to work better. DH ate 5 of these gems in one sitting, so I know this is a winner!!

    The cookie dough was really quite dry and I ended up using my hands to mix (after breaking a wooden spoon). I couldn't find swirled choc chips so I just used a mix of milk and white chips. I used egg-shaped cookie cutters and made up a batch of Easter cookies. The result was great, the cookies smelt great and tasted even better. Everyone loved them!

    Excellent cookie recipe. It is now my only chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have looked for the perfect recipe for years. So many of them fall flat after cooling. These stayed perfectly thick and yummy!

    These were the best chocolate chip cookies ever! I actually like the cookies better than the dough, which has never happened before. I made them with semi-sweet morsels because that's what I had on hand. I baked 2 dozen right away. With the rest of the dough, I froze the rest on cookie sheets and stored them in bags of 6. However, they didn't last too long because they are addictive. This will be the only recipe I use and recommend!
