If you like your chocolate chip cookies soft & chewy, then these are the cookies for you! These are so tasty. I thought they would be a little thicker but they spread quite a bit during baking and I even thoroughly chilled the dough first. I guess the texture is due to the fact that the only sugar in these cookies is brown sugar. No granulated sugar is added. All brown sugar makes for a softer cookie. I've made so many chocolate chip cookie recipes and I have not even posted all the versions that I have made. I mean, it's getting to the point where they all taste the same or at least similar. I like them all. They all have their good points. I like crispy or chewy or thick or thin or semi sweet or milk chocolate. I really do like them all. I can't say I would make these again but I only say that because they are just as wonderful as the 100 other recipes I've tried. Yes, I recommend these! Especially if you like your cookies really chewy and soft.
