Excellent cookies! The original contributor is right; substitute some margarine for part of the shortening. Our family also thought it needed a lot more vanilla; I'd triple what it calls for. But the cookies were fantastic, and definitely a big hit!
Tasted great. Yet cookie was flat. Any tips on how to remedy that?
This is without a doubt the best chocolate chip cookie recipe. I've been freezing the dough in cookie-size balls flash freezing them putting them in freezer bags and giving them as extra treats to my friends when they have new babies. I'm not sure if any of the dough has actually gotten baked or if it all got eaten straight out of the freezer. YUMMY!
Quick and easy recipe w/ excellent result! I substituted half of shortening w/ butter and added slightly more vanilla. My husband and son loves them.
I made these for a group of teenage girls who all said that these were great. My friend who helped me make them even wanted this recipe to replace here usual recipe. I thought they were pretty good. But unfortunatly I really like a more buttery falvored cookie than these were. I did use butter flavored crisco but it didn't take the lack of butter away. These cookies are nice and soft. I do like having more brown sugar than white sugar I like the flavor better. When I make these again I will probably modify it a bit and add both shortening and butter (only a 1/3 or 1/4 of what it calls for will be butter until I find the right mix for me) this will hopefully give me the butter flavor I like and still keep them softness that I also like. I have now made it with regular crisco the flavor isn't all that. Plus make sure the crisco hasn't be sitting around the house too long that will make the flavor even worse!!!
I made these cookies a few weeks ago & used almonds instead of walnuts & a 1/4 tsp. of almond extract I added also & they were so awesome! I have never made such a easy & versatile cookie to make
These are the BEST chocolate chip cookies and very easy.
Simple and delicious cookies. Very easy to make... used half chocolate chips and half peanut butter chips
This is by far the BEST chocolate chip recipe I have ever tried! My husband usually only eats cookies when they are fresh out of the oven but when I make these cookies I can't keep him out of the cookie jar!
These cookies turned out a little less soft than I'd hoped- but the flavor is delicious!!!
