  • “Tried this recipe today with my 3 year olds assistance it was very easy and came out just the way it said; chewy and delicious!! My better half refuses a hard cookie and I know he will love these!! My kids enjoyed them warm with a glass of cold milk to dunk them in!! Thanks again!! Will keep this recipe for sure!!”

  • “EXCELLENT!!! Love your recipe Meryl. I rounded them by TBSP and turned out great! I made these for our new neighbors and I’m sure they will enjoy them. I have tried many different cookie recipes and yours is a keeper in our family. BTW…I have a silver baking pan from Sam’s Club and I spray a little oil to prevent cookies sticking.”

  • “Just baked these cookies and they are so good! i used 1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips with 3/4 c swirled chocolate chips, delicious! hopefully they will be as good tomorrow as they are fresh from the oven :)”

  • “fantastic chewy, tasty, easy cookies, this recipe is replacing my other chip cookie ones. Thanks for sharing!”

  • “These were delicious!Easy to make and my family loved them.The dough was very thick, almost too thick to hold the chocolate chips, so i had to add a little more butter so i could work with it.”

  • “Good cookie! Made them large and got 38 cookies. They baked for 11 minutes and were crispy on the edges and chewy in the center. Used powdered ginger instead of vanilla as that was what I had at the moment. The dough was very stiff and I had a bit of trouble incorporating the chocolate chips. Did not use the optional chopped nuts, wonder if they would fit in. Thanks for posting.”

  • “Wow these are so delicious I only made one batch but my daughters and friends gobbled them us so fast after school I’m going to need more.( I definately helped eat them) These will be my new staples. Will try a batch with some added mint.”

  • “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!”

  • “I love to bake. I mean I REALLY love to bake, but I couldnever find a good choco chip cookie recipe that I liked. So I looked for a couple hours and found this and I absolutely love it. My Daddy likes’im a lot too!!!”

  • “Loved this recipe.It has now replaced my previous chocolate chip cookie recipe. An easy recipie that resulted in chewy, light and perfect cookies.Thanks for posting!”

  • “Yeah!! FINALLY!! The seal of approval from my husband says it all. These cookies are just perfect! I used white and semi sweet chips cause I didnt have enough semi sweet- turned out better than I expected. Definately will make again and again!! Thanks so much for the post!”

  • “This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve ever made – and I appreciate the relatively reduced amount of butter.Like some other reviewers, I omitted the nuts (personal preference) and used the lesser baking time; the only other change I made was to use 1 1/4 cups of whole wheat pastry flour, and 1 cup of oat flour in place of the all-purpose flour.My husband and brother-in-law, both major chocolate chip cookie fans, went crazy over these.Thanks for a great choclate chip cookie, it’s the only recipe I make now.”

  • “These were AMAZING!! I am a Chocolate Chip Cookie junkie and these are, hands down, some of the BEST i’ve ever had!! They were easy to make and just sooo YUMMY!!!”

  • “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 cookies were great! 7 minutes baking time was perfect in my oven. They were nice and chewy and they stayed that way. I used2 cups of chocolate chips and I didn’t add the nuts. These cookies disappeared really fast at my house. I will be making them often. Thanks for the recipe.”

  • “These are great cookies! They are nice and crisp on the outside but so soft and chewy on the inside. They not the “gooey” type of chocolate chip cookie and they do come out a little puffy. I made mine a little bigger (I always use an ice cream scoop to scoop out my cookie dough as my boyfriend likes bigger cookies) so I had to bake them a little longer, about 13 minutes and it makes about 24 cookies this way. But they came out great, thanks so much!”

  • “My husband and boys loved these.I used part margarine, part butter and left out the nuts.Very soft!”

  • “Amazing, sooo soft! The bread idea is a great trick and it worked! Thanks for sharing!”

  • “WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW I got nothing but raving reviews from this. This is a keeper in my cook book. After countless failures with other chocolate chip cookie recipes this one was OUTSTANDING. I found that 8 min were to too soft but 9 minutes gave me that perfect chewy cookie. I made about 60 of them last night and when I woke up this morning there were only about 8 left on the platter! The cookies were so soft and chewy and just plain delicious, this is just what I had been on a quest for all along. Thank you!!!”
