Instead of using 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips, I used one cup of semisweet and one cup of white chocolate. This makes the cookie look more interesting. I also skipped the flattening of dough with the bottom of a sugar-dipped glass. (I figured the cookie would be sweet enough with the white chocolate).

I say this recipe is EXCELLENT! My boyfriend said that these are the best cookies i've ever made... ("they're like the Mrs. Fields cookies only... BETTER!")

I strongly recommend this recipe to all soft cookie lovers. (^^)

These are the best new cookie I've tried yet to date. I used the other posters advice and used one cup each chocolate and white chocolate chips and it worked out wonderfully. I did however, flatten them with the sugar. Adds a nice dimension to the bite of the cookie.
