This is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. They are even better a day or two after you make them! I prefer mine with milk chocolate chips. I make these several times a year - and I bake dozens of them around the holidays.

I have not tried the recipe, but I sure saved it. While some complain about them being flat, it is exactly what I have been looking for. I asked my mom many years ago why mine didn't come out flat like hers, and I never found out, so here's hoping mine come out flat, just like Mom's!

These were great cookies. I didn't have butter flavored shortening so I used regular shortening and added some butter flavored extract I also used 1/2 semi-sweet chocolate chips as well as the milk chocolate. Got 20 cookies using my large Pampered Chef scooper.

My go-to cookie recipe!!! Just added different mix-ins such as walnuts, marshmallows, white chocolate chips or butterscotch...very tasty and moist!

I make these all the time now, nobody can seem to ever get enough! I find they are a bit too sweet for me with the milk chocolate, so I use Hershey's Special Dark chips. Fantastic!

I use this recipe when I want to make large M&M bakery-style cookies. I double the recipe, add a large bag of M&M's instead of chips and double the amount I drop onto the parchment-covered cookie sheets. They bake beautifully and look just like the ones you'd find at the bakery!

I have never made cookies with shortening, but had some left over from another recipes and wanted to use it, so I decided to try these. They are so amazing - quite possibly my favorite chocolate chip cookie ever! I don't know if it is the shortening or just the overall recipe, and I'll probably try them with butter later because I normally have butter around, but wow, I love them so much - and the whole family agrees. They are nice and soft but with a deliciously crispy edge. Will make again for sure.
