Im after something like the Sainsburys ones.

Before I buy the ingredients for this one http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/4807/best-big--fat--chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies.aspx which seems to use a shocking amount of sugar  , does anyone have a favourite mix ? They seem to vary greatly.

... remembering I can burn water 

[Janeymiddlewife]

I use Loyd grossman's
as follows:

4 oz butter
3 oz sugar
3 oz brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
vanilla essence
1 egg
10 oz plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarb dissolved in 2 tsps hot water
6 oz chocolate chips or chunk - not cheap chocolate though as it burns 70% is best
up to 4 oz chopped nuts (optional)

I often use white chocolate with dried cranberries or pistachios

Mix together, bake at 180 Gas 4 for 15 mins or so

Loyd says it makes 36 - his must be really small - I usually manage about 12

Oh Janey what have you done.....    I've just fetched the last batch out of the oven.

I substituted 1oz flour for 1oz coco powder and had to slosh a little milk (about a table spoon) in as I thought at one stage I was going to snap my wooden spoon the mix was so stiff - should I have melted the butter ?

I also used 3oz dark choc chips and 3oz white choc chips and they were to hand and Im not really bothered about my waistline.

36 my bottom - I made 12 'man sized' cookies, Im sitting here with 2 and a glass of moo juice.... Wonder how long they will last?
