I made these for my husband when we were dating. He had recently lost over a 100lbs....these cookies were his downfall. He was the one who called them "wicked" and the name stuck. I have a SIL who asks for these at every family gathering and for Christmas. I hope y'all like them as well as she does. The recipe is from a really old cook book....I can't remember the name. The original recipe calls for 3 cups of chocolate chips. I found it to be too much so I double the recipe and use 3 cups of chocolate chips. But if you love lots of chips in your cookies you can always add more!

[email protected]If you are ever looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that has a little more richness, try adding a spoonful of your favorite nut spread into the mix. I used a smooth, salted, honey-roasted sunflower seed spread, and the results were incredible!

[email protected]As a tip for novice chocolate chip cookie makers, chilling the dough overnight is highly recommended! It helps the cookies retain their shape and you'll get less spreading during baking. These were probably the chewiest chocolate chip cookies I've ev

[email protected]I'm a fan of thick, cakey chocolate chip cookies. I cooked these at 350F instead of 375 like the recipe suggested and my cookies were the perfect texture. I let them cool before enjoying, which really allowed the chocolate to harden.

[email protected]I wanted a cookie that was a little more crispy on the outside, so I cooked the cookies for an extra 5 minutes. They turned out so well, which was good because they disappeared almost instantly!

[email protected]These cookies were so moist and soft! I used a mix of white and dark chocolate chips, which turned out to be a great idea. The kids in my neighborhood couldn't get enough of them.

[email protected]What an amazing treat! These chocolate chip cookies are the perfect combination of soft and soft, with a perfectly crispy texture around the edges. I had so much fun making them with my family and the entire batch disappeared in a day.
