This recipe was easy to follow and made yummy cookies. Stepson and I made them for Santa tonight. Santa loved them!!! We used 1/2 PB chips and 1/2 milk chocolate chips. Paired with eggnog for a Santa Surprise!

This recipe produced a traditional tasting chocolate chip cookie with a cake-like consistency. Or at least that's what I baked up...puppitypup's picture shows flatter cookies than mine. Regardless, they taste good. -

These might be the BEST COOKIES I've ever had! The consistency is absolutely perfect and the taste is devine. Thank you Nicalyn, this recipe is a definite keeper! Edited to say that I've been making these for a year now and they turn out perfect every time. My picture doesn't do them justice.
