    This cookie is amazing. It doesn't turn out crunchy; I was expecting it to be similar to Tate's. It's chewier, but really one of my new favorite recipes.

    This is exactly what I have been looking for. They are awesome and I am going to make them like from now on.

    I've wanted to make these since I first saw the episode. I know I made them too big so the middle wasn't as crispy which is my fault, not the recipe. I loved the taste, not too sweet. I will make it again, and again.

    One very bad thing about this recipe is.....you cannot stop eating the cookies!! Have made these before, & they were great. made them today, still awesome. Not sure what some negative reviews were really about, but other than having to bake mine for less time due to my hot oven, they are the best choc chip cookies ever! I would not change a thing. I used Nestles dark chocolate morsels because I prefer dark chocolate. Amazing!

    Not what I was expecting. When I watched the recipie on tv the cookies came out thin and crispy..which is what I was looking for. I followed the recipie exactly with no substitutions or omissions and was greatly disappointed to end up with pillowy (but still delicious basic chocloate chip cookies. Needed to find a different recipie for the kind of cookie I was looking for.

    Tasty, but not as tasty and I was expecting/hoping. My initial gripe with this recipe is that, as far as I could see, it didn't specify whether it called for light brown sugar or dark brown sugar- I chose to use dark. The cookies came out nice & thin, but for some reason, didn't taste as sweet as I am used to choc chip cookies tasting. They just seem to not have that "oomph!" that I look for. Rather than becoming crispy throughout after they cooled, they’ve retained a somewhat chewy consistency. I was hoping to be able to save/store these in an air-tight container for a while, but being they’ve retained some moisture (which is what I was hoping to avoid I know from experience they won’t keep for nearly as long as I was hoping for. To the recipes defense, it may have called for light brown sugar, rather than the dark that I used- so perhaps my complaints all stem from that. Regardless, the cookies are quite good- still tasty- just perhaps not as tasty, or crunchy, as I was hoping for.

    Hands down the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever!! Don't alter - follow exactly. And never replace butter with shortening - learned my lesson the last time I made these because I was out of butter. Awesome cookies. Alton is the best!!!

    After 40 years of baking the classic chocolate chip cookie on the back of the package of chips....I am an enthusiastic convert to Alton's "The Thin" cookie!!! Top choice of all the family as well.....Great job, Alton!!!

    I made these cookies for a 2nd time today, and they came out just as well as the first time! They really do come out crispy. The only thing that I do differently is use 1 3/4 sticks of butter instead of the 2. Everybody loved them!
