SO, SO GOOD AND TASTY! I normally hate to bake chocolate chip cookies because no matter what recipe I use the result is always, flat cookies. I decided to try yet another recipe because because my husband loves chocolate chip cookies, so I couldn't stop until I was satisfied with the results. Anyway, after looking over the recipe, I figured I better invest in a scale. Found one at Target on sale for about $11.00 (not electronic. Okay, so I am so impressed at the results because for the first time, the cookies are PERFECT every time I make them. I found that, as the recipe suggests, baking after refrigerating for an hour works, but it's even better if you can leave the dough in the fridge overnight. Turn on the oven, wait until it's at the suggested temperature, pull out the dough from the fridge and immediately spoon the dough onto the parchment lined cookie sheets, and in the oven they go. For best results, DO NOT let the dough get soft. Happy baking!

My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I make this whenever anyone asks for chocolate chip cookies. I don't eat dairy so if I make these for myself I use earth balance and any type of milk alternative. I usually use rice milk. Then I also substitute a 1/4 cup of flour with ground flax seed. I have tried the original recipe too. Either way you want to make it, it's still an amazing recipe.

Perfect. Alton Brown does most recipes by weight, not volume. If you do this w/ 12 oz by weight, it comes out perfect. 2-1/2 cups of flour comes out by weight to 12 oz.

I agree that the recipe is incorrect. Very good flavor but needs at least 2 1/2 cups flour not to be completely flat.

Beware! The written recipe is wrong! It says 12 oz flour however on the video calls for 2 1/4 cups. Unfortunately my cookies came out flat and greasy, for obvious reasons. I will try it one more time following the video recipe.

Spectacular, have made them 3 times now and always have come out perfect. Have never found a better recipe. I live in high altitude and these needed no adjustment. Have no idea why they would come out flat for people, unless you are not chilling the dough long enough.

This isn't quite the perfect chewy cookie recipe that I have been looking for. I would love to find a cookie recipe similar to the cookies they make at Subway but this one is definitely the best I have found yet.

This chocolate chip cookie is absolutely great! I'm not sure what the other reviews mean by the recipe being a disaster. My chocolate chip cookies turned out to be perfection and that is why I gave the recipe 5 stars.

Made the first batch as per this recipe. Came out exactly as many have complained. Spread too thin. Found the revised recipe and it came out perfectly. If you've tried this recipe and you liked it you owe it to yourself to try the other recipe as well. 18 oz. of flour and 1 1/4 cups of brown sugar. I used 1 cup of light brown and 1/4 cups of dark. Definitely one of the chewiest cookies I've ever made. I can only rate it 3 stars because I do believe, like many others here, that this recipe is inferior to the old recipe.

TroPOPical, you must've made a mistake somewhere. I've made these a few times, and they've always turned out very good. Make sure you use "bread flour," it makes a difference. Nice and chewy cookies!
