American Chocolate Chip Cookies?

Question

I made chocolate chip cookies from the recipe I found on
the internet and people seemed loved this recipe.
When I made my cookies though, they were so soft and
light almost like cakes or bread. What's wrong with my proceedure?
Can anyone make correction or suggestion?
Does anyone have a recipe for chocolate chip cookies?
