The percent by weight of chocolate chips really is the key to good chocolate chip cookies once you get a good dough. As you get to 25% by weight they really are gooood. Too many (over 30%)make the cookies spread and don't harden properly.

The BEST recipe I have ever used is the Nestlé's Toll House Cookies recipe. I'd suggest using their brand of semi-sweet chips if you really want a good batch, say for holiday gift-giving. I use the store brand chips when I'm making a batch for the family for lunches or snacks. I also use real vanilla (not the imitation kind) and they come out so much better. (The kind I actually use is from a big bottle I purchased at a market in Mexico--the real stuff!) Fresh baking soda will ensure they rise properly. (If you have an old box, you can open it and put it in the frig to get rid of odors.) The cookies also taste so much better if you use real butter and not the cheap store-brand margarine. One trick I learned was, after the cookies are baked, take the cookie sheets out of the oven, and let the cookies cool for 2 minutes. Remove them from the cookie sheet, then turn the cookie sheets upside down. Run the bottom under cold water to cool it down. Then you can continue with the next batch. If you put raw cookie dough on a hot cookie sheet, the dough will start to melt and spread too quickly, and your cookies will be thin and burn.
If you have a small oven, put one tray on the top oven rack, and one on the bottom rack. Switch the cookie sheets halfway through. They will cook evenly on the top and bottom.
Below is the recipe from the Nestlé's web site:
