Have you ever tried to bake them ahead of time and then freeze them? I am looking for a recipe that will work for my wedding favors and I would like to bake them a week before and then just defrost them. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

This is the best recipe for choc chip cookies ever for a busy mom who never remembers to leave butter out to soften. Melted butter–brilliant! And I’ve made the cookies big and wee and they always come out perfect. Teachers at my daughter’s school request them for all special occasions, but I always give you credit, of course.

I haven’t tasted them yet, but they’re coming out of the over pretty flat. They do look like they will be both crispy and chewy, but I was looking for a thicker cookie. They don’t look like your photo, Deb! What do you think of adding baking powder or subbing the powder for the soda?

This may have been asked already (I just didn’t have the patience to read ALL those comments), but which brown sugar did you use? light or dark? In my experience only using light makes for a cookie that is too blonde IMO and using all dark makes for a cookie that spreads too much and doesn’t maintain it’s thickness. Would a mix be fine?

I had a problem with these for some reason :/ I noticed as soon as I added the butter how it seemed like way too much. There were puddles of grease in the corners of the bowl, and the cookies came out flat and greasy. I’m positive I added the right amount of the other ingredients, are you suire there’s supposed to be that much butter in these?

I agree with Jaimie- I’m not a person who likes to bake much but WOW has been the response I get when people taste these cookies and they are so easy! I just found your website a few weeks ago and I must say I am very impressed and will continue to try your recipes! Thank you!

My husband found this recipe several months ago and he’s been making these cookies a few times a month. I think it’s the tastiest chocolate chip cookie we’ve made yet.

I’ve had a 100+ degree fever for the last two days, and for some reason, got the brilliant idea to bake chocolate chip cookies in the middle of the night in between coughing fits. I’m crazy, I don’t know.

I was out of butter, so I swapped out Safeway brand Butterlicious spread (no, I’m not kidding). We were totally and completely out of baking soda, so I left it out. By the time I mixed the chocolate chips in (bittersweet, no semi-sweet to be found), I contemplated just throwing the whole mix in the trash.

But, alas, these were decent! Even with all of that! I figure if I can mess them up that badly and still have them be pretty mediocre, then this is a darn good recipe. I can’t wait to try this again with the actual ingredients…it’ll be a huge hit! Thanks for the recipe, Deb, this is (potentially) wonderful.
