No more using the recipe from the back of the chocolate chip bag. This is a wonderful cookie, the flavor and texture are great. They freeze well and stay soft. I followed the recipe and cooking times as directed, the only thing I will do differenty is to chill the dough before cooking, it seems to make a less flat cookie that way. -
Everyone agreed that these are delicious. They're soft and chewy cookies, and they didn't get hard/tough the next day. It did take about 13 minutes in the oven per batch. If your oven is like mine, and doesn't heat evenly, I suggest you turn the sheet around in the oven about half way through the cooking time to get evenly baked cookies. Great recipe and one I'll make again. -
Another good chocolate chip cookie to pair with a glass of cold milk! I only have 1 cookie sheet (an air bake) and changed to dropping teaspoons after the first batch. They needed about 12 - 13 minutes. Thanx Elmolvsu! -
the texture is good but WAY tooo much salt! -
I love this recipe,normally i get sick of eating chocolate chip cookies the more i eat them, but not with this one.It's crunchy in the outside but soft and chewy in the inside,but if you like it crunchy in the inside just bake it a little longer.

When I was 10 I discovered the joy of cooking on the back of a Nestle Toll house Chocolate Chip bag. It was the first recipe I ever made. I had a blast and it was a lot of fun to cook something that everyone loved. To this day, baking is one of my favorite things to do, and it shows! (that explains the lack of a picture, hehe)
On the non-cooking front, I lead a fairly normal life. For the past four and half years I have been able to stay home with my DD and be a full time mom (is there any other kind?).
In college I had a wonderful professor, Dr. Mark Woodhouse (his books are fascinating BTW) and I began my study of the paranormal, conspiracy theory, and metaphysics. I can honestly say it changed my life. I earned my degree in Philosophy with a minor in Religion and English.
For those of you who are interested in Astrology, I am a Pisces Dragon. A great book (did I mention that I like to read a lot?) is The New Astrology by Suzanne White. She actually sums up my life very well when she says: "Pisceans born in Dragon years will be touchy and argumentative until they finally stop trying to prove themselves. Then they will become effecient in a chosen profession, stay in a pleasant rut, and cruise around all day dreaming about what to make for dinner."
