Well, I like to think I have the best recipe...but I'm sure everyone else feels the same way.
Despite all the hype, the original Neiman-Marcus "$200 Recipe" actually IS pretty good:

Yes, I've made them. I've substituted very finely-ground coffee for the espresso powder, and I think it's even better that way.
The recipe found on the back of Mrs. Field's chocolate chips.

Mix the flour, soda and salt in a bowl. In a new bowl,
cream butter with the sugars. Beat in vanilla and eggs until smooth. Add the flour mix to the batter. Stir in choc chips. Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet. (I use baking paper on the cookie sheet). Bake at 350F for about 10 minutes until golden.
I don't make huge cookies and find I get around 6 dozen using a heaped teaspoon of batter.

I suck at baking, but Pillsbury (sp?) chocolate chip cookies are a good substitute.
I must warn you it's a pretty finicky recipe. It's influenced by the temperature in your kitchen, and how your oven bakes. It will take time to figure out what adjustments you will need to make but this makes those yummy chewy cookies that are very light in color.
(I've used the Nestle Toll House recipe but my cookies always come out very flat and that's why I use this recipe instead. It calls for less butter and more flour.)
The Famous "Lopez Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe"
Dry mix:
2 1/2 to 3 C of "Gold Medal" All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Iodized Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
Wet mix:
3/4 C Butter
3/4 C Brown Sugar
3/4 C White Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla extract
Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
Preheat oven 325 F to 350 F. Use mixer and cream butter then add both sugars. Next add eggs and vanilla. Use wooden spoon and add dry mix to wet. Then add one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Place heaping table spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for around 11 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
Here is some data I've collected over the years while trying to achieve the perfect doughy thickness in my cookies:
1) Butter has to be hard-soft. If it's too soft then the cookies will be flat.
2) The batter should be extremely thick and chunky. ( So thick that if you use a wooden spoon it might break it--or hurt your wrists mixing it.) Play around with the flour to achieve the desired thickness. If batter is not thick enough you'll get flat cookies.
3) Place batter in frig for 10-15 minutes covered before doing your first batch. In addition, place batter in fridge in between batches. You don't want the butter in the the batter to melt or you'll get flat cookies.
4) A cookie sheet with the air pocket layer works best.--Otherwise the bottom the cookies will burn.
5) Play around with the temp. To get soft cookies I increase the time and bake at 325 F. Timing and temperature is crucial. Remove cookies from oven when they barely start to turn tan on the tops. This takes a good eye. Also don't open the oven too many times--this influences the overall oven temp.
6) When you remove cookies from the oven let them firm up on sheet for 2-5 minutes then move to wire rack.
7) Always use COLD ingredients meaning your butter and eggs.
Good Luck!
