Chocolate Chip Cookies

I finally tried the Joy of Baking recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies, click here for the original recipe. I did adapt the recipe, because I always like to add in extra vanilla and I don't always follow directions.  I wanted to see how these cookies compared to my classic chocolate chip cookies recipe.  In comparison, the classic chocolate chip cookies are thin and more crisp than these chocolate chip cookies from Joy of Baking.  These chocolate chip cookies were soft and chewy.  I brought these into work recently and they were a hit!
