chocolate chip cookies from scratch

Lately, I am on a baking kick.

I'd like to bake chocolate chip cookies but don't have a good 'from scratch' recipe. I was hoping someone on eGullet might have a good (and fairly easy) recipe to share!

The chocolate chip cookie Bake-Off would be a great starting point .

We have a recipe that is of the "handed down" variety and is the only one we used. I will get it into this thread late tonight as I am at work right now. I'm only posting now so that you will know that people are reading and responding.

These are great! Crispy on the edges, chewy in the centers:

Olivia's Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies from The Macrina Bakery & Cafe Cookbook. You can simplify them - all butter, for instance. They are crisp around the edges, and soft/chewy in the center. I make them a more normal size and get a lot more than 16 cookies - more like 40.

My wife and I have been making the Jacques Torres Chocolate Chip Cookie lately. It was rated the best by Martha Stewart, and I just love anything Jacques.

Read about it on my blog post:
