They don't last long in our house. :-) I think I have finally found THE choc-chip cookie! Yesterday I made them a bit different, and I reckon they turned out very, very good. I added 200g (7 oz) each of dark, milk and white choc chips (but these are more like flat buttons than chips). I also added a cup of chopped roasted hazelnuts. They are yummilicious! I know I put more chocolate in than your recipe calls for, but when you make them with the bigger chocolate buttons this ratio seems better - when I tried it with small choc chips, 7 oz of each kind was too much. I also think that I could have upped the hazelnuts to 1 1/2 cups. Oh well, there's always next time. :-) I’ve been baking these delicious cookies ever since you posted this recipe.

Can't find Guittard choc chips here, so I thought I'd make up for it by using 1/3 dark chips, 1/3 milk chips and 1/3 white chips. They're a hit! Thanks for posting the recipe.

These are great for giving to friends, there is such an abundance. And the switch to butterscotch chips did not take away any of their appeal. The three plates I set out for the ten kids at my house today were GONE before we knew it. Thank you for sharing! I also made your bagettes, and that was just the greatest bread my family has ever tasted. It really is delightful to see a table full of satified and thankful people you love, so...... thanks for the bread recipe, while I'm here appreciating you. It WAS a truckload!

Sorry! It is the standard 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet plus 6 oz. of milk chocolate. Woops Franci - I didn’t see your question there. Sorry!

The texture is different, but it definitely works. Good luck! Jennifer,

I halved the recipe and got almost 4 dozen cookies. Truly delicious. In case anyone wonders, as I did, how big a “truckload” is… I halved the recipe and got almost 4 dozen cookies.
