World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

World's Best? Probably! You've got my vote anyway! Gee, Karen, these are really great chocolate chippers. Followed your directions, except I omitted the walnuts/pecans, and they turned out sooooo good. Very easy to mix up and bake. Think I've found a brand new favorite! Thanks so much for sharing.

Excellent recipe! I too omitted the nuts, but will try the recipe w/ nuts some day! @ 1 1/4" balls it took a lot longer than 10-12 minutes (more like 18-20 for me/my oven which is pretty new) so I just watched them every 2 min. until they were golden brown. I reduced the size to 1" balls after the first round of baking and it still seemed to take a little longer than the recipe's requested time. Otherwise, these are just fantastic, beautiful, and easy cookies!

Better than Toll house. Just a quick observation....what is with these people who want to spell out all the changes they made to make them better. Geez...just submit your own recipe and give the baker their accolades. : (

By far the best choc. Chip cookies I've ever had! Every one in my family would agree on that! Made for the first time Sunday, and fixing to make batch #2 now!

These really are darn good cookies. I use half butter, half margarine... I use a bag of chocolate chips, and bag of pecans (equal amounts of each). I've had to mess with the cook time and temp for my oven, but other than that, this recipe is spot on.

My mother is a baker, and has been using one recipe for most of my life, I baked these for her and my father and they have changed recipes. Really, that's a pretty strong endorsement.

Great cookies.

I have made many many different cookie recipes, and I can tell you that THESE WERE THE BEST!! My hubby and I could not stop eating them as they came out of the oven! So moist, chewy, and delicious. I am so excited about this recipe. I will definitely be making these all the time. Whoever said these cookies sucked, obviously missed some ingredients or messed up the recipe because I don't know how anyone could dislike them! :)

These were perfect and beautiful. I used margarine instead of butter because I don't like my cookies to be poufy. Many users described them as being 'dry'. I assume this is due to the volume of solid stir-ins, so I reduced the chocolate chips to 2cups and the nuts to 1cup and baked for 10 minutes on a light baking sheet. I was surprised by the amount of vanilla in this recipe, but it's the perfect compliment to the walnuts. I ended up with 4 dozen cookies that are soft, beautiful, and the perfect blend of sweet and nutty.

I hadn't made chocolate chip cookies in awhile, and I thought I'd give this recipe a shot. I'm not one of those "must find THE BEST CCC recipe" people, I just like to try different ones. This was a really good one. I rolled the dough into ping pong-sized balls, and the baking time and temperature were right on. I did omit the nuts, though (family preference). I got exactly 54 cookies from this recipe (it was nice not to have that last bit of dough that is too small to bake with no chocolate chips, so you just have to eat it!). My cookies fell a bit, so they looked a bit "rocky", but that could be the altitude. I never make high-altitude adjustments when I bake. I very rarely have altitude issues, and my crew will pretty much eat anything that's not gross or burnt. ;) Thanks for posting this, I'm glad I tried it.

Happy New Year =^..^= and thanks a bunch for a great cookie recipe! MUCH better than tollhouse cookies IMHO. I was on a quest to find a better CCC and my quest ends here! These are amazing and I love the fact that they are NOT flat. I omitted the nuts because our guests have nut issues :^( I on the other hand LOVE nuts. Next time I will add the nutz! I also used both choco chips & butterscotch chips FANTASTIC combo. I used my cookie scooper and baked for about 14 minutes to add a bit more crunch. Love the raw dough too :wink: Perfect!

Everyone loved these! I had to change it up a bit to make them Gluten Free, but they were wonderful and I posted the GF recipe on my blog (http://www.glutenfreebakingbear.com) with a link to your original recipe. My friend who's favorite cookies are Chocolate Chip said they were indeed the best ones ever. They were tender and the texture was a perfect balance between soft and crisp. Thank you for a great recipe.

Cookies were good but not the world's best.

I really enjoyed these cookies. I made each cookie 1.1 ounces and baked them for 12 minutes in a convection oven. I will make these again.

Good tasting chocolate chip receipe, however I'm always changing receipes. For this receipe I used 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of quick oats, as well I cut back on the sugar. I used 2/3 cup of white sugar and 3/4 c of brown sugar.I find it still to sweet. I also found it to have too many chocolate chips. Next time I make them I will use 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of white sugar and 2/3 of a cup of brown and perhaps 1/1/2 cup of flour and 1 1/2 cups of oats.Just to make them a little more healthier.

A good cookie recipe. It is not the family favorite just because they like a softer chocolate chip cookie and these ended up pretty crispy the next day. Followed your hint to chill the dough before baking and the only slight change was to skip the nuts. Good flavor - really more of a texture thing for us - I even tried baking them less but all the cookies were "dunkers" the next day which is fine with me in a cup of coffee! Thanks Karen for posting.

Like most bakers, I have been on a quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I made these yesterday as a Valentine's treat for my son's teachers and they were exquisite in every way. They looked like they came from an upscale bakery and tasted even better. I made them a bit smaller than the recipe called for to get the perfect two-bite morsel and all I can say is thank you Karen...BRAVO!

These cookies were fabulous!!! They didn't flatten out and were soft & chewy. I only added 2 cups of chocolate chips. My husband couldn't stop eating :) Thank you

As someone said before me, what's considered a perfect chocolate chip cookie is very subjective. I look for ones that don't flatten much as they bake, but still use all-butter and stay moist and chewy as this recipe does, so I'm giving it 5 stars. I measured the flour by lightly spooning it into the measuring cup, as others recommended, and I think that keeps them from being too dry, along with being careful not to overbake them. I used fewer chips and reduced the amount of vanilla a bit, based on previous recipes I've enjoyed. Delicious cookie! Thank you for the recipe!

Receipe was easy to follow as my 12 year old daughter made them hersef. It states it makes around 12 cookies but realistically around 30 is a better estimation. I would say the size of a golf ball is a more realistic size. I would space them a good 2-3 inch apart as ours fused into one. They took around 20 minutes to cook which was probably due to the sheer size of them. Tasted nice but soggy on bottom due to needing even MORE time in oven. We will try it again soon and look forward to samplying them later. I hope you have found this honest review helpful.
