These cookies are DELICIOUS! I wasn't a member of Food.com but signed up just so I could rate this recipe. The only thing I did differently was used bittersweet chocolate chips instead of white. I cooked them for 10 minutes and they came out moist and perfect. I like my cookies soft, and the next day they are still soft and chewy. I'm definitely saving this recipe and will make them again! (The dough was soooo good too. :)
