Ghirardelli Chocolate Chip Cookies

MarylandMomof3's Note:

This is the recipe right off the bag. I like this recipe better than Toll House recipe because the mix seems less sugary tasting so the flavor of the chips stands out.

These are the only chocolate chip cookies I make anymore. It really does make a difference to buy the good chocolate. Sometimes I only make a half batch. Perfection.

Great recipe! My cookies weren't flat! I used pecans and a mix of Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips and bittersweet chocolate chips. Everyone loved these!

Wonderful, chewy, and buttery chocolate chip cookies!!! I used Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips and the recipe is on the back of that bag as well using the milk chocolate chips. I cut this recipe in half and it worked just fine. Baked for about 7 1/2 to 8 minutes as they started to brown around the edges then. Love Ghirardelli, thanks for posting!!!!!
