12 Reviews of Absolutely the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wow! These are fantastic chocolate chip cookies! If you like your Chocolate Chip Cookies soft, but not cake like, chewy in the center and slightly crisp on the edges, then you've got to try these cookies!They are sweet, but not too sweet and chocolatey, but not too chocolatey. I baked mine for exactly 8 minutes. My secret to the perfect cookie is to take them out of the oven before they look completely done (which is how these look at 8 minutes). As they sit on the pan, they'll bake up a bit more and have the perfect consistency. These are yummmmmmyyyy! Thanks!

    This is our favorite. My 9 year old loves these and tells all her friends that I make the best CCC.

    These are amazing! I have tried this recipe with both the regular and butter flavored shortening, and I prefere the regular. They taste great either way, though. I make exactly two dozen and bake them for 10 minutes.

    These cookies are GREAT! Very easy to assemble together the ingredients. I used my Kitchenaid mixer and the dough was ready in no time at all,all I folded in was the milk chocolate chips. My oven baked them for 12 minutes. I did as mentioned in other reviews, I took them out before they looked completely done for they do bake alittle longer while coolin on a cookie rack. Thanks for sharing these great chocolate chips cookies! They are a keeper in my cookie jar!

    These tasted good but came out very thin. I don't know why, maybe it had something to do with the flour. Can somebody tell me where I may have gone wrong in my attempt at these cookies.

    This is the Toll House recipe, just substituting shortening for butter and increasing the vanilla...still, they are delicious! I always halve the salt, use semi-sweet chips and lots of walnuts

    Again the reviews prove so valuable. The cookies definitely look and feel undercooked when removed and I would have kept them in the oven longer, had I not read the reviews on this recipe. I baked mine for 10 min; got a batch of 46 and the cookie size is quite generous - like the palm of your hand. I personally found the cookies on the sweet side (perhaps because I used semi-sweet instead of milk chocolate, will use milk chocolate next time)but was voted out by everybody around me. They were loved by all. I made with regular shortening. A keeper for sure, especially since school is starting up in a few days. Made for Went to the Market tag.
