All-Time Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my go to recipe. Absolutely delicious!! I like to mix the types of chocolate and do some dark, semi sweet, and milk, and I chop them up to be in different sizes for some variety and more texture. About 12 minutes in my oven is perfect.
I formed the dough into balls and put the dough into the freezer for my grandparents a few months ago when I visited so they could bake cookies as needed after I had left. My mom just told me today that they called her and said they baked a few off and they were the best cookies they'd ever had! They're 87 and 89...what a compliment! (Even though they had them fresh from the oven the day I made the dough lol). Please make these!

This is the recipe I've used for years. When my kids were young (now in their 40s) I started adding 4 c. of Rice Krispies for those who wouldn't or couldn't eat nuts.

The addition of the pretzels is great!!!

turned out great

The best!

These were a fun twist on the cc cookie. Especially for my pretzel-loving husband.

Pretty good, they were a little dry for my tastes but had a great flavor. They definitely did not turn out "flat" as is stated in an earlier review. And it actually made more than was stated.

Great cookies, but it didn't make as many as the recipe call, but they were good.

My go to cookie recipe. They turn out great every time!

This are awesome! I usually do a mix of white and semi-sweet morsels and sub 1 and 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour for the white flour. Nice way to sneak in a little extra fiber and no one knows they're "healthy!"

These were great. I would definitely add a teaspoon of baking powder so they do not come out too flat and also put the dough in the fridge so that it does not stick much. This batter makes a lot of cookies.

These are very good! I followed the recipe, except I used butter crisco and they did not flatten, but held there shape perfectly. I also added 3/4 cup of ground pecans. I let them cool on my silpat for 5 minutes before moving to wire rack. The only thing I would change is to add 2 t. vanilla instead of 1 1/2 t as I really like vanilla. This is a keeper, fast, easy, delicious cookies. What more could one want? Cookie baking hint - bake the first batch with only 2 cookies - this lets you check the timing and if necessary go back and adjust the rest of the batch to your taste. I overbaked a whole sheet once following the directions of the recipe. Now I know better and take the time to test.

These look AMAZING! I can't wait to try them Here check out this cookie recipe: http://vancitybookgirl.blogspot.com/2011/07/delicious-healthy-cookies.html They are even healthy! No butter. No guilt!

These cookies have potential............but are not worthy of a 5 star rating. If you like cookies that are more on the chewy, floury and not quite done texture.........then these are for you. I personally love a cookie that has a crunchy exterior with a modest chew factor in the center. They also hold up much better than the aforementioned being rated here.

I thought these cookies were very good - and I didn't make any substitutions. I really liked them because they turned out slightly burnt on the edges and chewy in the middle. Just make sure to use parchment paper!

Good cookies

were dry and tasted whole grain werent very sweet and didnt meet my expectations. Also cookies didnt cook all the way through without burning the outside.

These are so addicting and delicious!! Best chocolate chips cookies I've ever made.

Look no further. This is THE perfect cookie, hands down. I used half butter half margarine and baked for 10 minutes. Just the right amount of salt too...Great recipe.

These cookies were absolutely amazing!!!! This recipe only made 26 cookies for me though. But overall great recipe.

So good! I had to ban myself from making them during my pregnancy because I ate so many that I had to make a new batch every weekend...

Good cookies but not as great as everyone says.

ONCE I WENT ON A WALK AND I FOUND AN OLD MAN EATING A COOKIE AND I ASKED HIM WHERE HE GOT IT AND HE SAID HE MADE IT AND I SAID DID YOU MAKE IT FROM SCRATCH AND HE SAID YES SO I ASKED WHERE HE GOT THE RECIPE AND HE SAID MYRECIPES.COM AND THEN I WENT HERE AND TYPED IN COOKIES AND FOUND THIS AND THEYRE GOOD :-D !!!!!!!!!!!

In one word: awesome.

My favorite chocolate chip cookies! Not too crispy but not too soft..just perfect

This is NOT the same as Tollhouse! Some very subtle differences, less butter and more flour make these cookies so soft and chewy, my Tollhouse cookies never tasted like this! I haven't been able to make cookies this soft w/o shortening, this one's a keeper! Same as Ultimate by SL, but this is a much better picture.

I use the milk chocolate & peanutbutter morsels. The peanutbutter morsels give it a Butterfinger crunch.

Isn't this just the Toll House Cookie Recipe???

Average, nothing stellar, not something I would call a "keeper".

Makes some of the best cookies I have ever had. :)

I made this cookie recipe for my kids and they loved it!! My son helped me make them. It was very easy and quick. I WILL make these cookies again. We also used white chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips.

I have made these cookies several times adding pretzels. The cookies are DELICIOUS! I wouldn't make another type of chocolate chip cookie. People can not stop eating them. Just the right combination of sweet and savory. I continue to bake these for friends and family!

It's good, but it is pretty much the exact same recipe as on the bag of toll house morsels! Come on people! Plagerism!

i've been looking for a recipe that creates restaurant quality cookies and this one fits the bill! perfect texture and flavor!

Wow! The best homemade chocolate chip cookies EVER!! Yum! Just made a batch yesterday and already planning to make more this weekend!

This is a recipe our family has been using for many years. Everytime they are shared, the recipients tell us they are the best chocolate chips ever.l

Very disappointed! I checked on cookies at 11 min. and found ONE thin, flat sheet of cookies. Tasted bad, threw out! I'm not the best baker, so maybe I did something wrong.

I made the variation with the crushed pretzels and was disappointed. The pretzels made the cookies taste dry and starchy.

I really like this chocolate chip cookie recipe! The first time I made them they spread a little thin so I used 1/4c. of butter and 1/2c. of crisco the next time and they turned out perfect!! This will be my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe!

The best chocolate chip recipe I have ever made! I really love to use Publix brand JUMBO semi sweet morsels:) PERFECTO;)

I have been searching for perfect choc.chip cookie recipe for 6yrs. now looking for best gourmet recipes .. everything and this one is it! They are crispy around the edges, chewy in the middle. Finally! I followed direction to the T even when it came to mixing and I cooked em on the parchment lined sheet on rack in middle of oven for 12 minutes. 14 minutes would have been too long. Thank you for this magnificent recipe.. my family LOVES THEM!

This recipe is the same as "Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies" but the cookies look more like this photo except my cookies didn't look as perfect but the taste & aroma was awesome! I followed the recipe to a T. I will drop mixture by 1/2 a tablespoonful the next time as it really expanded quite a fair bit when in the oven & conjointed with the rest of the mixture. I will also bake it for less than 14 mins the next time as mine was a little too brown & crispy. I will try baking these cookies again.

I'm in love! These chocolate chip cookies are the best thing on the block. They bake up perfectly and look "real"-- puffy rather than the great spread you get from break-and-bake. They're perfect all on their own, but I'm trying the white chocolate pretzel version next week. So good that I had to ship them to my fiance to get them out of my house.

Amazing cookies! we had run out of brown sugar and had to use a mix of unrefined sugar and black treacle. still, they were absolutely delicious and will definitely be added to our cookie recipes!

This is THE BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's very easy to make and you can experiment with the mix-ins. I've gotten so many compliments on these.

I tried the pretzel variation and it was so delicious! I gave them as Christmas gifts and folks loved them. I will definitely make this recipe again - with or without pretzels, this is one extraordinary cookie.
