This is the second time I've made this recipe, and this time they turned out even better because I used our new convection oven. They cooked perfectly - they were super light and fluffy and delicious. I think using Penzey's cinnamon really adds a lot to the flavor, too. Dino and I both brought some in to work and our coworkers all loved them. Success!

Agh! I found you! I have been making your “Beth’s chocolate chip cookies” I found on Allrecipes since 2005 for my kids! They are now 21 and 25 and making your cookies at their homes! We won’t make any other chocolate chip cookie. Very excited to try all of your recipes on your blog! Cheers!

Hi Ali - I'm so glad you enjoy this recipe! This is actually a super old post that I've been meaning to revamp, as I've tweaked this recipe from the original source on Allrecipes a bunch over the years. I'll have to take a look at the other cookie recipe you mentioned - sounds delicious!
