When I make these yummy treats with my young grandson, Ben, I use an extra-big mixing bowl to prevent the flour and other ingredients from flying all over. He seems to enjoy making the cookies almost as much as eating them!—Chantal Cornwall, Prince Rupert, British Columbia

These are the best cookies ever! I first found them in the Cookies & Bars Book from 2010, and have made them so many times since. They go FAST and are my most requested recipe. The only recommendation I have is to add just a little more vanilla and they are perfect. Don't let the thick consistency scare you; they will be great.

These were really good cookies!! Both of my little brothers help me make it! We always want seconds of the dough. Ten minuets is perfect for a nice chewy cookie

These cookies were so flat they were transparent. I did not have cocoa on hand so I subsituted 1/2 cup flour to maintain the consistancy. After the first batch cooked and were SO delicate I added another 1/2 cup of flour and let my dough chill for an hour. They were still flat! Now that I have researched this phenomenon I would recommend NOT softening your butter but break it apart with your fingers to separate. Add at least 1 more tsp baking soda. Don't over beat/mix your butter and sugar mixture; leave some lumps. Chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Hope this helps. I also subsituted 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Overall they made good chewy-inside, crispy-outside, paper cookies.

This recipe is very good! I added white chocolate and macadamia nuts. I baked them for 14 min. Originally, they were too raw and chewy for my taste. But they were still very good if you like the chewy type of cookies. I will definitely make these again!
