The best cookies in the world. I have made them twice now and they were so delicious. Although my Bf prefers the more cake-like kind, but I dont. These were just perfect. I will never make any other kind of choco chip cookie!

I made 2 dozen regular size to send to my dh, and i made several "huge" ones for a friend to cheer her up. Thanks!!

Great and utterly rich cookies! These are filled with chocolate and practically melt in your mouth... both wonderful qualities in a cookie! I only made half a batch. Didn't have any chips, so I used 1 bar Ghiradelli milk chocolate, 1/2 bar Ghiradelli dark chocolate and 3/4 bar Lindt Chocolate-Orange. These are definately going on the holiday rotation list- thanks!
