These soft chocolaty cookies can be easily altered to make several different varieties—I've added everything from mints to macadamia nuts to them. My husband an I live on a mixed farm with our young daughter and son. Among my favorite hobbies are gardening and baking.

These cookies were okay, but nothing special. Only the batch that I removed from the oven after 12 or 13 min. came out moist. The ones I cooked for the full/close to full time were too dry for me. Also, this cookie has more of a cake consistency than a cookie and I don't care for that. With so many really great classics, and other new recipes out there to try, I doubt I will make these cookies again.

Yummy cookie. Very moist with a good medium plus chocolate flavor. Not quite as rich as a brownie. The choc and white chips pop with yummmm flavor in your mouth!

These cookies are average. I was disappointed because the recipe and picture looked so good! I used peanut butter chips instead of vanilla. Just nothing spectacular in my opinion...

These were real easy to make and turned out good, fudgy on the inside. They bake in the shape u put them on the sheet, peaks and all so don't expect the uniform round shape. Overall- would try again with different variations of chips used.

I made these for my boyfriend to take with his lunches this week. I added his favorite peanut M&Ms as toppers. They are all gone! Well done:)

Good, but not great. They were too crispy on the outside for me.

Very easy. I left out the white chocolate chips and it was very tasty. The sour cream makes these light and fluffy.

I am always trying new recipes for my pastry company and had to try these after reading all of the great reviews. They turned out wonderful! They were chocolaty and rich-very delicious. I had a hard time telling when they were done ("set" wasn't that obvious) so I just took them out after 14 minutes and the texture turned out great. They were fast and easy to make and used ingredients that I always have on hand. I love cookie recipes that don't call for long periods of refrigeration!

Discovered quite by accident that these cookies are MARVELOUS chilled. Just pop one in the fridge half an hour before eating. Reminds me of something from my childhood - glad to be reunited with such a treat!
