All I can say, Kathleen, is that we will no doubt spend the rest of our cooking days looking for the perfect recipe. The last one I heard about was in Keller's Ad Hoc. Still haven't tried it though. My old standby is exactly like yours.

I'm a thick and chewy chocolate chip gal too. 🙂 I think it's great that there are so many recipes floating around- it's just that many more to enjoy trying out! This recipe looks yummy- I usually put walnuts (mix of Black and English)in my choc chips, but I may need to try the pecans! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Betty

I never met a chocolate cookie I didn't like..lol, and I love trying new recipes for them. I definitely think some are better than others, and yours sounds great!
Mags says
Fantastic photo. I think the shortening goes a long way in making cookies that are thick and chewy and the butter adds the flavor.
Kristin says
I think that it all goes off of personal preference but as long as its edible and has chocolate in it, I am happy! Although yours do look pretty darn tasty looking.
Kim says
We like our cookies the same way! I'm right there with you…thick and chewy all the way. They look great and if I wasn't dieting like a crazy woman, I'd hop into the kitchen and try them!
Fresh Local and Best says
It's true, there are so many posts out there that claim to have the best chocolate chip cookie, I think there can be a blog dedicated just to that. This looks a fabulous cookie. I like the addition of pecan.
