- VARIATIONS
- Bar Cookies
- HEAT oven to 375 degrees F. Follow recipe above to prepare dough. Spray a 13 x 9-inch pan with no-stick cooking spray. Spread dough evenly in pan.
- BAKE 19 to 21 minutes or until top is golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and center feels slightly firm to the touch. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
- Large Rounds
- HEAT oven to 375 degrees F. Follow recipe above to prepare dough. Spray small area in center of baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray. Cover with 12-inch square of foil.
- PLACE one-fourth of dough in center of foil. Form into a small circle with spatula or rubber scraper. Spray 12-inch square of wax paper with no-stick cooking spray. Place sprayed side down on top of dough. Flatten with round cake pan or pie pan to form a 7-inch circle. Remove wax paper.
- BAKE 9 to 10 minutes or until light golden color. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheet on a cooling rack. Remove to rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
- Chocolate Drizzle or Dip
- DRIZZLE: Melt 1 cup semi-sweet or white chocolate pieces with 1 teaspoon shortening over very low heat. Stir well. If too thick to drizzle, add 1/8 to 1/2 teaspoon more shortening to thin. Drizzle from end of spoon back and forth over cookie.
- Sprinkle with nuts before chocolate hardens. To harden chocolate quickly, place in refrigerator for a few minutes.
- DIP: Spoon melted chocolate into custard cup. Dip one end of cooled cookie halfway up in chocolate. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts before chocolate hardens, or drizzle with contrasting white or dark chocolate. Place on wax paper.

I LOVE this recipe - have fine-tuned just a little - substitute real butter for butter flavored Crisco, increase the flour to 2 1/4 cups (need more flour when using real butter), and use Girarde...

These are hands down the best way to make a choc chip cookie. I do split the sugar. 3/4 C brown and 3/4 cup White but other than that, PERFECT!!!!!! Crisco makes a better cookie than butter.

This is a great recipe, but we did substitute the Crisco for Real Butter as we do not use hydrogenated oils. You can also substitute 1/2 portion lard and 1/2 portion butter in place of the Cris...

Good for a quick cookie using on hand pantry ingredients. Because I'm low on brown sugar, I used half white/half brown. I also used almost all organic ingredients. I prefer using a mixture of mi...
