I was searching for a new recipe and found this. I was a little worried with some of the reviewers saying their cookies came out as puddles. Mine came out great and super tasty. I changed it up a little. They came out soft and very slightly chewy after baking for 9 minutes. I got almost 5 dozen. Will be adding this to my recipes.

One of the best double chocolate chip cookies I have ever made. I used 1 cup butter instead of the 1 1/4 cup margarine and 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar. I had my first of these cookie after letting them cool a few minutes and the cookie practically melted in my mouth. Even once the cookies had cooled, they were still soft and chewy. However, be careful not to over cook the cookies, like I did with one of my trays. They still tasted good but were less chewy than I prefer. These cookies are also very good if you add some chopped pecans.

Less flour. 2 C. is too much. Maybe 1 1/4? (plus the 3/4 C cocoa powder might be enough dry ingredients). -Less chocolate chips. I found that 2 C is too much; they didn't stick in the dough at all and I ended up removing many chips. You want an equal dough to chip ratio. -My cookies didn't flatten; I had to hand-press them prior to putting them in the oven. They cracked on top too. They were crisp on the outside and chewy, which was good. Oh, and I did add 2 tsp espresso powder. Someone else suggested that and it works!
