Chocolate Chip Cookies I

“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.”

Very good! Perfect size batch. The only changes I made were 1/4C shortning and 1/4C butter and since I only had XL eggs I used 1 XL egg white. They turned out VERY good! I will definitely make this again. My husband loved them!

FANTASTIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE! :) The only substitution I made was to use butter-flavored shortening as that is all I had. I baked for the 8 minutes, they looked underdone but I took them out anyway and let them sit a good 10-15 minutes on the baking sheet before I transferred to the cooling rack. They are absolutely delicious---a definite keeper! I used some leftover Grocery Store Frosting (AR) to sandwich some of the cookies with sprinkles for the kiddos. Thanks for sharing!

Just made these and they are delicious. My husband is in love with them. I replaced all the shortening with butter and doubled the amount of vanilla extract . It made them very fluffy.

We had a cookie-off, and made several recipes in our attempt to find the best CCC recipe and it was by a vast majority that this was everyone's preferred recipe. It has the flavor of a truly homemade cookie but the texture and presentation were of professional quality. We are much obliged to your grandmother for her amazing recipe and to you for sharing it with us.

These are the best chocolate chip cookies I've made in years! They're even better than my Mom's old recipe! They keep their shape without going flat and the nuts give them a crispy sort of crunch that makes them extra yummy!! I have made them three times in two weeks ... they're that good!

Soft and yummy. I substituted 1/4 c. flour with cocoa, but that was it. I selected this recipe because I didn't have butter and it called for shortening, but if I had butter, I probably would have substituted 1/2 the shortening. I think we through in some extra vanilla too, as my 9 year old daughter and 7 year old niece actually made the cookies, and both wanted to put some in. Oh, and I used 1/2 whole wheat flour too. (I like to pretend they are healthy that way!)
