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!

This is the best chocolate cookie I have ever tasted it's moist and melts in your mouth. It's my sisters favorite!

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:)
