This is a great recipe for chocolate chip cookies if you live at high altitude. We’re at 7000′ and most cookie recipes turn out flat and crispy here. This one makes nice soft cookies. The original recipe calls for 2/3 C butter, but I use only 1/2 C and it’s fine. Also I usually use all whole wheat flour.
