I love that the classic American cookie accidentally got its start when Ruth Wakefield used a Nestle chocolate bar as a substitute for baker's chocolate. The chocolate didn't melt, and the chocolate chip cookie was born. My version—it's big, thick and soft—is based on a recipe from a bakery in California called Hungry Bear. —Irene Yeh, Mequon, Wisconsin

These are very good - my boss went into fits of joy over them. Nice that you can make them ahead and bake when ready. Be sure not to overbake them as they harden up upon cooling.

I never make cookies. This was my 1st time! I made the dough last week and baked half of it. Made the rest today. Excellent!

This is such a great recipe! I used my regular cookie scoop to portion out the dough. After refrigerating overnight - baked them off at 375º for 13 minutes.

This recipe is super easy and very delicious! I used peanut butter chips as well as chocolate chips and only used 3/4 cup butter. I did not refrigerate overnight and cooked at 350° for about 14 minutes. They were perfectly soft and chewy! This was my first time to make home made chocolate chip cookies and they definitely did not dissapoint!

A VERY SIMPLE BUT DELICIOUS RECIPE FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. THE ONLY MODIFICATION I DID WAS TO ADD 1 TEA. OF CINNAMON AND 1 TEA. OF NUTMEG. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RECIPE FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE LOVERS.
