I’m scribbling down a ton of notes here, thanks!

My two cents: I use the Tollhouse recipe, butter, twice as much vanilla, and I add a Tablespoon to two Tablespoons of molasses.

I use a baking stone, and take them out of the oven while they’re still undercooked, let them sit on the stone for a minute then transfer.

(I’m totally trying these other suggestions though :)

So you have about a billion recipes here, but I can’t resist throwing my favorite in too. I really and truly suck at baking, but these cookies turn out so well for me every time… so I can only imagine how great they’ll be when someone who actually knows what they’re doing makes them.

And if you swap half the chocolate chips for M&Ms… well, it’s divine.

The best and most consistent recipe I’ve found is the one on the bag of See’s Chocolate Chips – stays chewy for a few days (if the cookies last that long) and the See’s chips stay sort of melty too.

Do you know, that tip about adding a little extra flour worked with my recipe. I did 2.5 cups instead of 2.25, and they were better.

I tried the vanilla pudding thing, and it was meh. It gave the cookies a processed, fake-vanilla flavor without improving their moistness or yumminess.

Heath Bar. Do I need to say anything more? I don’t even like Heath Bar, and yet heath bar makes these cookies close to a religious experience.

Plus, I can’t bake, and it’s impossible to ruin them.

Yum. Yum. Yum.

It’s a recipe from Giada on Food Network. It’s from her cookbook, and she says they are her favorite.

I have no idea if anyone else listed this, but my ex, who was an amazing baker, used the recipe on the back of the Tollhouse bag… and added a package of vanilla pudding. MOIST COOKIES EVERY TIME.

This works wonders on the choc chip cookie recipe on the Toll House bag: refrigerate them a couple of hours or overnight. Then put them on the pan in cold round 1″ balls. They don’t spread all over and are moist and — I think I need to go make some now.

The people who are giving you the 1/2 and 1/2 solution with the shortening are right. I use half butter and half margarine. All butter makes doorstops and all margarine makes paper thin crisps. I’m happy to pass along my oatmeal choc chip recipe if you need it, though it sounds like you’ve got a ton of those already. It’s got Oatmeal, so it’s healthy!
