    I'd been looking for a recipe that let me create big fat chocolate chip cookies like those cow patties you see in the stores and this did just that. Most standard recipes on the back of the chocolate chip bags never had enough "meat" to them, they always ended up flat, crunchy, and chewy at the same time. But this recipe is great!

    I have been making this cookie for a couple of months. It's a project that you send cookies to soldiers. They make request to the "Cookie Lady" and then she gives people the names and you send cookies. It takes about 7 days from when I mail them until they get them. Every soldier that i have sent them to all rave that they taste like they just came out of the oven. Alton Brown once again has the greates recipes!!!!

    I should have known. When you use shortening, the cookie will cool hard. In my opinion, there's no point in baking at home to get a hard cookie. Undercooking doesn't work either - still cools hard. Plus you get Trans Fats for NOTHING - for a worse cookie than the Toll House recipe. Plus, calls for too much salt. I'm trying the Chewy next. Hope I don't waste another bunch of ingredients.

    yum. These are nice, puffy, and not overly sweet. Everyone has their own idea of what a choc. chip cookie should taste like, and this was pretty close for me. I didnt make any modifications to the recipe, although in my oven the cookies were done in 10 minutes so be careful.

    My family loves this cookie. I have made them so many times and they come out perfect every time!! My kids always want more because they each take a couple in their lunches and their friends fight over them. I think my 9 year old sold his 2nd one for 3.00 to a classmate. Go figure...These really are excellent!

    Wow. I never thought I'd meet a chocolate chip cookie I didn't love. Now if someone put them in front of me, I'd happily munch away. I'll never make them again though. I don't like the difference in taste you get from a standard chocolate chip cookie. I don't mind the puffiness at all.

    The recipe is easy to make though.

    I didn't care for this cookie that much. It tasted like ones you would buy out of a box. I think that it had too much sugar in it. It didn't have the real homemade cookie flavor and in my opinion wasn't that puffy. I would reccommend the thin over this one. That cookie was amazing!

    These are the best chocolate chips cookies! Try "The Thin" and "The Chewy" recipes too.

    This is the best cookie I have ever had. I added chopped pecans and Wow! I will keep this recipe for a very long time.

    Just like mom used to make... I prefer substituting margarine for half of the shortening. I think the taste is better. I also refrigerate the dough an hour before baking. It makes them REAL PUFFY and LIGHT.
