We too tried the chocolate chip mix -twice! The first time my son made them and he thought maybe he did something wrong since they went so flat. I made them the second time and they also just spread out flat and didn't taste very good. My kids ate them, but too me they weren't very good. We have used the Pamela's Pancake and Baking mix before to make chocolate chip cookies and they were pretty good. (Better and cheaper than Betty Crockers)
We used to use Miss Roben's cookie mix, and those were awesome, but I haven't seen the mix around for awhile now.
