| The best cookies ever made. They come out better than mrs fields. Key is to bake slowly. I put mine on center rack and bake at 325 for 22-24 minutes each batch. Got a million compliments on them. My friends call them crack cookies lol. |

| Wonderful, gooey, crunchy, soft, chewy.. I think one whole bag of the chocolate chips is enough, personally. This also didn't make two dozen cookies for me, I ended up with 4 dozen, but hey, no complaints there!! Except maybe from the bellyache from eating too many. |

| You do not need to tweak anything in the recipe. The key to making the perfect batch is to bake them on the second to the bottom rack in a 250 degree oven. Check the cookies after 15 minutes and then every 1-2 minutes until the edges are browned but the center is slighly soft. Total baking time is between 17 to 21 minutes (subsequent batches bake more quickly so watch carefully). Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet. They will settle and crisp on the sheet. |

| Firstly, these cookies are absolutely amazing! It's very tough to find a cookie that keeps it's softness, mainly because I have a tendency to overbake. Not quite like Mrs. Fields, but I used some weird "found-in-the-depths-of-my-pantry" chocolate chips, so that may be why. Having read the low-star reviews on here, it makes me realize just how subjective recipe reviewing is. :) Also, everyone cooks differently. |

| Great recipe and really good cookies. If they are coming out flat for you just add extra flour (I ALWAYS do) and be sure your butter is mixed in good (not in clumps throughout the dough). That might be why people are having problems. |

| Amazingly some people have a chemical in their skin that can react with baking soda, therefore causing recipes with baking soda to come out flat /not rising. Using gloves and a ice cream scooper is the only way I can bake cookies, and biscuits. |

|
| This is a wonderful recipe. I put the dough in the refrigerator for about a couple hours. This gives the butter enough time to harden. Therefore your cookies won't be so thin. If you make the cookies right after mixing the dough, the butter is soft and will cause the cookies to spread out and the cookies will be to thin. |

Hint: 10 mins baking time is good but if you want them a little easier for the small kids to eat...I would recommend putting them in for about 4-5 mins longer... 4-5 mins longer doesn't make them hard even we they cool down. Enjoy!!! |

| I substitute a little apple sauce, like 1/4c. and 1/4c. Crisco and then only one stick of butter. The applesauce lowers the fat a little.

| This is the best recipe handsdown! I made only a few changes to fit my personal taste. I used some of the comments on this site and they were helpful. I mixed in an extra 1/2 cup of flour; after adding the chips and before placing on cookie sheet, I put the entire bowl in freezer for about 10 minutes while the oven warmed up (that made it easier to form into balls and the chocolate wasn't as messy when eating them); I baked them 325 for about 12 minutes and they were perfect! I also made a batch following the recipe exactly but adding 2 8oz bags of Hershey's white chocolate and macadamia nuts. Mmmmmmmmm! I work with a bunch of men and I brought some to our Christmas lunch just yesterday, and all afternoon they were raving about them! Some even think that I bought them and am trying to trick everyone! I'm going to try other flavor chips to make an assortment for Christmas dinner with my family. |

| Great recipe! I just made these and have a few observations to share:
1. A 'golf ball' sized chunk of dough is a level 1/4 cup scoop. This made precisely 24 cookies with a little to share with the dog (chips removed).
2. I baked these on an air-bake cookie sheet. The first pan failed to flatten sufficiently - they were too 'tall' and gooey inside.
3. For the second pan, I "pre-flattened" them to about a 2 inch diameter and increased the bake time by 3 minutes. They turned out perfect! |

| The last thing you want to do is have a warm dough. Best thing to do is to chill ALL of your ingredients after you've measured them or you can chill the dough after forming them, with a scoop is recommended to avoid body heat from warming the dough. Also, 325 degrees is better for a softer cookie. Do not overbake. |

| When I found this recipe years ago on this site.... well, it's ALL we make now!! Adding more flour is a very good idea! Funny enough, my FAVORITE way to eat these, is that I put some dough to the side, before adding the chips, and cook them plain... they are the BEST chewy, yet a bit of crunch on the edges! They are soooooooo good this way! Thank's for the yummy good times!! |

| My family loved this recipe and they now beg me to make it until I give in! People at my work said that these cookies were the best they've ever had! One thing to keep in mind is that the recipe does not usually turn out perfectly when one only uses 2 1/2 cups of flour---they will turn out really flat. So add at least 3 cups or more, depending on the texture of the dough (it should not be too sticky, obviously). Awesome imitation! |
