Recipes Chocolate Chip Cookies I 4.6 (265) 224 Reviews 70 Photos My mother says this is the original chocolate chip cookie recipe passed down from my grandmother. For bars just press the dough into a jelly roll pan and bake. This recipe makes a very small batch. I triple the recipe and use 1/2 cup margarine and 1 cup shortening instead of all shortening. It seems to make a softer cookie. Recipe by Kit Thomas Updated on July 14, 2022 Save Saved!
