Absolutely my favorite chocolate chip cookie, and quickly becoming the favorite of many of my friends who request these every Christmas. The mixture is deceiving prior to baking as it looks too dry, but coming out of the oven they are absolutely great. I guard this recipe covetously.

These are AWESOME. I am normally the type of person who only likes soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies. But these cookies have a crispy, but very airy and light texture, and they are wonderful. They are definitely going on my list of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever tasted. Can't get enough of 'em.
