SECRET: If you've read this far, I'll tell you a good variation that I discovered. Add one package of dry vanilla instant pudding mix to the powdered ingredients before you mix them in. The cookies will be moister and better-tasting.
You can use a different flavor of instant pudding mix, and you'll change the cookies completely. Sometimes the result can be really good. I added a package of chocolate devil's food pudding mix to the recipe once, and got great devil's food chocolate-chocolate chip cookies! [ TheOldOne's advice column | Ask TheOldOne A Question ]
