When I was in India I used to think of cookies as biscuits. Only after coming to US I got to know the real cookies that are crunchy on the circumference and soft in the center and I totally loved them. The recipe given here is not my own. Its given to me by my friend Bhushan. I tried them once and they came out really well. So I always follow this particular recipe leaving the 100s of chocolate chip recipes that you find on the net.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (Hershey's preferably )
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, and nuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans.
3. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.
They should look better and thinner than the picture shown here.

Nice :)
A little less all-purpose flour makes them thinner and nicer. When measuring the flour in cups, don't tap the cup to settle the flour down. Keep it loose and measure 3 cups of loosely packed flour. That way you will add in the perfect amount of flour and your cookies won't look pregnant :)
Happy Cooking!!
Thanks for the useful tip Bhushan! will add it to my recipe. I did not have a better picture of the cookies, so put this pregnant cookies one :P
