"I have tried many recipe ideas for these cookies, and I believe this one is truly the best. I always under-bake them because I believe these cookies are best as soft as possible."

GREAT cookie! Stayed semi-soft. Crunchy enough to be a nice "milk and cookie" type cookie, but soft enough to enjoy alone too. My soon to be F-i-L love them! They were his Christmas gift... he couldn't get enough. Thanks for the recipe!
