Delicious soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies! These are similiar to Nestle' Tollhouse cookies but not. The one thing I liked about this recipe is the dough was much stiffer than standard cookie dough (similiar to Mrs. Fields doughs). The cookies did not run on my cookie sheet yet they spread just right - I sometimes have difficulty with the Tollhouse recipe running and producing a flatter cookie than I'd like; I think this cookie dough is foolproof. I used butter and 3 Tablespoons of vanilla (love my vanilla) when making this recipe. I baked my cookies for about 8 minutes until they browned a bit but were soft and light in the center of the cookie. The yield is right on target at 6 dozen cookies. Thanks so much for sharing I think I've found my new chocolate chip cookie recipe!

AMAZING!!!! These were absolutely amazing. My DH and I couldn't stop eating these. I did follow the advice of Jennifer Murphy in New Jersey and added 2/3 cups Molasses. I also substituted Rapadura for the brown sugar and regular sugar cutting it down to 1 3/4 cups. The molasses kept these cookies nice and chewy! I did have to keep them in the oven longer (10-11 minutes) since I added the molasses. Great cookies Kelly123!!!

I made these with my 2 year old son who loves to "mix up mix up" any kind of stuff in a bowl and we found this recipe to be perfect. We made one third of the the recipe and that was plenty for us! They came out perfectly although I did had to substitute the brown sugar for white sugar as I didn't have any brown to hand.
