This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tried! This is hands down my go to recipe from here on out. I did change one thing, I used 1/2 tsp of salt because I used salted butter.

Hi Renee, you can substitute margarine for the butter in equal amounts. Happy baking!

Can I use Land O Lakes Margarine instead of the butter as that's all I have?

I've used this recipe many times now and it is absolutely the best. Whenever I make them everyone wants to know what bakery I bought them from and don't believe they are homemade.

I've been looking a great chocolate chip recipe for a very long time. Well, I just made these cookies and this recipe is the best recipe I've found to date. These cookies are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My search has stopped here.

I use this recipe for our Open House/Customer Appreciation every year. People rave about these cookies! There are never any left:) it is definitely a 5 star recipe! They are best using Land o Lakes though. My friend made them with store brand butter and she said they were not like mine. Also, sometimes people will blame the recipe when the issue is actually the mixing method or the oven. This recipe has never disappointed me, and I've been baking for over sixty years.

I was looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that wasn't toll house, so I came across this recipe on the land o lakes box and just had to try it for a function at work. what I liked was the fact that it was such a large recipe 4 cups of flour. I thought perfect no need to double the recipe. Well they turned out to be the best chocolate recipe I ever tried.. this will be my go to recipe from now on. i think the land o lakes butter makes a big difference
