    these were only slightly puffy -- the taste was great but they were not puffy. I'll keep looking for the ultimate puffy choco chip cookie. oh well!

    I jumped in to things too quickly, but they came out great. I just looked at the ingredient list and did my own thing, been making cookies forever after all. So, I didn't sift a thing, didn't use a disher, didn't chill the dough, only baked them for 9 minutes and they were perfect! I will definitely be making these again. For the people coming out with cookies that are crumbly and dry or more crunchy, try just the 2 spoons and 9 minutes. They are still soft that way

    I've been looking for a chocolate chip recipe that doesn't flatten out after baking. This is it. This is not a chewy cookie but it is a nice crisp chocolate chip.

    If you're looking for a super sweet and crunchy cookie then "The Puffy" is the recipe for you. Personally, I like soft and chewy cookies but I like the "look" of my cookies to be more like Mrs. Fields or The Cookie Corner. The usual recipe that I use has the right flavor and texture, it's just not as "puffy" or "high" as I would like them to be. Ergo the reason for me trying this recipe. I followed this recipe to a "T" with the exception of using Morton table salt vs. kosher salt that the recipe calls for. I'm not sure if using the wrong type of salt made these cookies so crunchy and crumbly but what I do know is that I'm not about to make this recipe again. Guess I'll be standing by my tried and true recipe instead.

    Wonderful tasty cookies. Kids eat them so fast I can't keep any for the cookie jar.

    These turned out great! I halved the recipe. Then I used a half butter half shortening mixture. Next I added 1/4 cup Hershey's cocoa powder. Lastly, I used 1 cup white chocolate chips. I ended up with awesome chocholate cookies with white chocholate chips. Delicious!

    My batch came out flat as a pancake. I know there are 2 things I did wrong, but do not think they would mess it up this much.

    I used a full 12oz package (3 cups? of semi-sweet chips, and I think it only needed 8oz? (2 cups. And I used baking SODA, instead of baking POWDER.

    I do not like using Volume Measurements when baking .. it can go wrong. Recipes by weight are much more accurate & it is what professional/commercial bakers do.

    I'd love to know, from the people that have made these cookies or another one from this show, if they are just soft and puffy or if they have the slightly crispy exterior over the soft insides. I usually like to make a test batch and find things out for myself but I'm strapped for time. Any advice would be HUGELY appreciated. I gave it 5 stars because I've never had anything from Alton's shows that were anything less... I just want to know if they are what I think they are. lol

    One of the best chocolate chip cookie recipes that I have ever made. Everyone one who has tried that just loves them. I must now bring them to every party that I go to!
