Ok, I LOVE chocolate chip cookies but mine always spread on the cookie sheet and end up really flat -- do you ever have that problem? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong! :)
I only have had that problem when I use the recipe on the bag of chocolate chips.
So I made your favorite recipe and I'm baking them as I type and now I need to make Devan's and do a side by side taste test to find out my favorite too! Nonetheless, yours are definitely delish without any comparison.
