Easy and tasty! I've seen so many cookie recipes that claim to be "chewy", but they never turn out that way for me. But I decided to give this one a try, anyway. I followed the directions, and they turned out chewy — not as chewy as I expected, but WAY better than the recipe I've used my entire life. I used the lower oven temp even though I wasn't using dark cooking sheets. I made the cookies bigger than the recipe said, and I may have baked them a little longer than they should have been, but they still turned out good. BF likes chewy cookies and gave this one two thumbs up. I'll definitely make this one again but try baking them a little less tmie — possibly not as chewy because I baked a little longer than I should have! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These were great! I used egg whites and Splenda instead of the white sugar, but they were still perfect to me. I think they turned out a little puffier than they would have without the subs, but I didn't mind a bit--they were still delicious! Thanks for a recipe with minimal butter, compared to the others. I will make these often!

This recipe is GREAT! The texture was soft & chewy, plenty of chocolate chips! These were made for Santa Claus, he didn't leave much the next morning for the kids to enjoy but I think he had a helper or two that night
. As for the ingredients, I followed the recipe as-is and I made sure that the butter was softened (not melted!! if you melt your butter, you'll have a different texture mixture, probably more runny!) and also, I didn't add the nuts (husband doesn't like them). This is a definite keeper for me and will make often! Awesome!!!!!

These are freakin' delicious! They have crispy edges and chewy centers, and are perfect chocolate chip cookies. I made them a little larger, and dropped them by Tbsp. I also added a touch more salt, since I used unsalted butter. I had this recipe saved in my cookbook for a long time, and I'm glad I finally tried it. This is a keeper! Thanks!

This is the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe! I followed the recipe exactly, except I added a whole bag of swirled chocolate chips vs the 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet. Chewy, fresh, chocolatey and delicious!

Lovely. If someone said "chocolate chip cookie" to me, these would be it (without the nuts). I made a half batch without the nuts and they were great. They are crisp at first but if you can let them alone and keep them in a sealed jar, the next day they are much more chewy and less crisp.

Good cookies, but I had to press them out a bit to have them flatten out a bit. Lots of chocolate chips. I tossed them in the freezer as soon as they cooled or I would still be eating them.

Great cookies. Crispy on the edges and chewy in the centers with an excellent taste. They were gone in a flash!

I've made this recipe 3 times now and all 3 times, the cookies have been great! This last time I used m&ms and they worked out well. Everytime the cookes have had crisp edges and soft, chewy middles. I put them in a tupperware and they stay that way at least 2 days. After that, I don't know because they've never lasted longer than that.
I recommend using good quality vanilla and real butter for best flavor. I actually chose this recipe because it used less salt and butter than your average chocolate chip cookie recipe and I find I don't miss it.
