I used butter instead. They taste somewhat good. I really don't know how to call it because I didn't use eggs and less sugar. They didn't exactly puff either; crunchy chewy & gooey.

As with my other review for the Chewy, I alternate between Chewy and Puffy. These are terrific cookies - great texture and flavor. My family enjoys cookies and they always ask for my version! As another reviewer said, the Chewy and Puffy are very similar. There are never cookies 'left' at the bottom of the jar.

YUMMY!!!! I admit the thought of butter flavored shortening grossed me out, but these cookies taste awesome - so awesome I forgot all about the shortening. I did use good quality dark chocolate (60% chips and semi-sweet chips - the blend adds to it. Another great recipe from Alton

I have used this recipe for years and its the best! Friends and family have loved my cookies, although I think they are more chewy than puffy. Happy baking!

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

A great cookie recipe after some changes. Which is why I have to give this recipe four stars.

First, reduce the sugar. It's too much [for some reason, AB increases the total amount of sugar over the Nestlé Tollhouse without explaining why]. Drop it to almost 2/3 cup white and almost 3/4 cup brown. Together they should total 10 ounces by weight.

Second, use 1/2 teaspoon of table salt. Kosher doesn't sift very well. Heaping 1/2 if you like it salty.

The call for butter flavored shortening probably puts people off. It's not all that bad, and if you don't want to buy a giant tub Crisco sells the stuff in 1 cup measures, packs of three. Leftover can be used for pie crusts/biscuits.

Chill the dough as stated for puff. If you want the recipe's 30 cookies, scoop 40 gram balls by weight. For 18 bigger cookies, try 64 gram balls. Put a piece of parchment paper on your scale to weigh and shape scoops.

They're not super puffy, but after said changes, they're worth trying out!

My husband LOVES soft, puffy, chocolate chip cookies. This recipe is the BEST! For those who complained of flatness, baking SODA is NOT Baking POWDER. Use the powder as called for in the recipe. If your first pan come out on the flat side even still then add about 1/4 cup more flour and make SURE the dough is chilled. Sometimes hot weather or humidity can effect the outcome of cookies.
