One of the BEST cookie recipes EVER. They come out of the oven real puffy but they 'wrinkle up' as they cool. Best when they're a little undercooked so the middle is still gooey. I divided the recipe by 4 and still got over 30 cookies! Of course I had to add more vanilla (it just makes them taste better) but that was the only thing i did differently. Definitely soft and chewy just they way a chocolate chip cookie is supposed to be!

THis is the recipe I use...its perfect. Except in my recipe book it calls for 18 ozs chocolate chips. Also, I learned a trcik for them not to come out flat. Refrigerate/freeze slightly. Form into balls. They rise more and do not come out flat. These cookies also come out better of you make them smaller.
