This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. Period. I've made them many times for my vegan uncle by subbing butter for vegan butter and the eggs for 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/2 tsp baking powder. I also sub all the sugar for granulated. They're crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside and best fresh out of the oven.
