These cookies are fantastic! I will sometimes make them sweeter by using milk chocolate chips or occasionally mix it up with 1 cup of semi sweet and 1 cup of milk chocolate chips. I also always use all butter, I've tried the butter Crisco combo, and prefer the all butter. I've made this recipe probably 100 times or more, and never had a bad batch! From those that have tried them they are universally loved. Even those that tend to prefer the crispy chocolate chip cookies, appreciate and enjoy the softer chocolate chip cookie that I make.

Absolutely great recipe for Tom and Jerry's. As mentioned, do not make ahead, but this is simply wonderful for holiday parties. Very yummy, and you can adjust the alcohol to taste. It even tastes good with no alcohol for any children or under 21 guests at your gathering.

This is by far the best pie crust that I have ever had. I haven't changed a thing from the original recipe other than one time when I ran out of distilled white vinegar and used apple cider vinegar in its place and the crust was still amazing. Every time I make this recipe I get rave reviews from everyone, oftentimes it is compared to "Grandma's" crust.
