Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies
"If you want to have ready-to-bake cookies, you can drop teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet covered with wax paper or parchment paper and place in the freezer until the dough is firm. Then, place frozen cookie dough in a plastic bag and keep frozen until ready to bake. Drop oven temperature to 350 degrees when baking, and expect the cookies to take a little longer to bake than normal."

I like the flavour, but I found that 15 minutes in the oven was too long. The cookies came out too crispy. Shave off a few minutes and they are softer. Very delicious though. Thank you. -
Delicious cookies! I'm always looking for new chocolate chip cookie recipes to try and these are definitely decadent, as the name suggests. They're so good! -
The chocolate chip cookies they are really good and my brother and sister like the cookies really much. -
I thought I lost this recipe a few years ago when my computer crashed. I'm so glad I found it! I always get compliments on them. During Christmas, I add one teaspoon peppermint extract and crushed candy canes! Mmmmmm. -
very good, baking took about 10 minutes in my oven, and came off the baking sheet fine when i waited a couple of minutes for them to harden after coming out of the oven. they didn't spread much but for me, that just meant i could fit more on the sheet and do less batches..you could always flatten them with a fork after spooning on the batter if you want. i think 3 cups of chips would be way too many, i put just under 2 cups and even that is borderline...from now on i'll use 1.5 cups

I used another user's suggestion and substituted milk for the water. I didn't have any corn syrup so I left it out, but the cookies came out great!! Simple, basic, and good. Just what I was looking for. -
Wow, these are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. Didn't have corn syrup so I used vegetable oil instead. FANTASTIC!
-
Great cookie! Didn't have corn syrup so omitted it and used 3T milk instead of 3T of water. Turned out great. I thought 15 min would be too long, but they came out perfect every single time. My kids thank you!
