Whenever I make chocolate chip cookies they harder as soon as they cool and become incredibly hard and very light, so when you bite into them they are not very dense but rather fairly hollow.
How to I overcome this, I know my recipe is wrong, so does anyone know what I need more of and what I need less of to fix this.

I don't know what recipe you are using, but you are probably cooking them too long, and not giving enough batter per cookie.
A little more shortening or butter in the recipe will probably help too....

Try this:
2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
Bake at 350 until done but still soft, allow to cool for 2 minutes on pan, then remove and finish cooling.

Reduce the baking temperature and/or the amount of time in the oven.

I think you leave them too long on the oven or too hot.. i dunno but that happened to me once an mom said it was the time or heat
