What is your favorite cookie flavor?
Just tried making these cookies. They turned out super cakey and airy and weren’t very sweet at all. I had to add about a half cup more flour because it was so wet I couldn’t roll the dough into balls. They don’t look anything like the picture either. :-/
Made these for a class part y for my son. They were amazing !!! Thank you for this recipe!
I would give this recipe a 4 out of 5. I was worried how dry the dough was prior to baking, but they ended up turning out pretty good. They are a thicker cookie, which I like, but the downfall was that there was almost too much chocolate. I love chocolate so that’s odd for me to say. I would make these cookies again, just not with full bags of both chocolates.
Are you sure you actually made these?? There’s way too much sugar, and with a whole bag of each of the chips and m&m’s it’s just way too much stuff for the dough to handle… They came out like thick hard cookie balls
You can try cutting the chocolate chips or M&M’s in half if you prefer less candy in them. I do that from time to time or just use the M&M’s or the chocolate chips.
My cookies didn’t turn out at all… dough was too crumbly – I could barely make balls. They didn’t flatten, and were super dry.
Yummmm…bugger!
My cookies never flattened out much from the ball, like yours did in the picture. Since this recipe is very similar to the good ole toll house chocolate chip cookie recipe I wonder if next time I sould decrease the amount of flour to 2 1/4 cups!
Thank you Heather!! Just made these they are so good!!!!!!!!!!
In the recipe ypu wrote bugger instead of butter.
