User Reviews:

I really do like this cookie recipe... but I would watch the Salt you add. The salt was little to much to my taste. This is a really thick cookie receipe the type that does not spread out thin or puff up either. So remember to flatten the cookie down to your own desire thickness. This cookie taste good with both white and semi chocolate chips in it. You could easly kick it up a notch and add different types of candies to it such as M&M, Heath Toffee pieces..etc.
