Classic recipe which always turns out great. However, you might want to update your instructions. I measured out 1 TEASPOON size dough drops and got 4 dozen cookies far from the 120 servings mentioned with the 1 TABLESPOON dough drops as you have directed. Good cookie.

These are by far the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever made. One problem though-I HARDLY got 40 cookies out of this full recipe let alone the listed 120 servings, so I suspect the nutrition info is off as well.. Other than that one problem excellent recipe! thanks for posting!

Ok let’s keep it real for those that like the package version... ALL of the recipes on the net say ‘ORIGINAL” and the original is not the store bought packaged version. Same here, good but 30% less sweet than the packaged version, soft but more cakey. Perhaps the solution is to use 2.5 or 2.75 cups of white sugar and maybe reduce the brown sugar to 2 cups. To reduce the cakeyness I am going to try 2 cups of flour instead of 2.25 cups. as well the packaged version uses shortening so I would try half butter and half shortening. The pros on this version is that the butter makes for a less oily cookie than the store version so it will take some play to mimick the packaged version, however if anyone has nailed that packaged version, please share with me how you did it... thanks..
