These were really, really good! I used Butter-Flavor Crisco (adding 6 tbsp. of milk) instead of butter. The recipe is very similar to the chocolate chip recipe found on the inside label of the Crisco sticks. It is my absolute favorite cookie recipe, so I had to give these a try to satisfy the chocoholic in me. I creamed the shortening and sugars, then added the eggs and vanilla, then added the blended dry ingredients, and finally the chocolate chips. They were yummy! The only changes I might make the next time I make these (and there will definitely be a next time!) is to add a little more sugar and a little less baking soda. These are both personal preferences - it's not like these aren't sweet! My sweet tooth is an over-achiever, it's not your normal sweet tooth. The cookies I normally make have another 3/4 cup of sugar in them, so that is what I am used to, and I would like these cookies to be a little sweeter. I didn't even consider that adjustment until the day after I made them when I noticed they weren't as sweet as my regular recipe. Straight out of the oven these were AWESOME! So, next time I will try 1/8 cup more of both the brown and white sugars and decrease the baking soda a tad because I like my cookies a little more dense. Again, these are both personal preferences, and I think this recipe is wonderful as is. Definitely deserving of a 5 star rating!
