Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (= ...from the author. Also, Sometimes I do 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup shortening. This has been my favorite recipe since I was 14. Ive tried other ones, but always go back to this one. My friends all love it too, and they only use this recipe. I always underbake my cookies and then freeze them; that way they never get hard. Once again, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. I was young when I submitted this, and totally forgot to type that in, and now I can't remember my old login password to change it.
