Mar. 8, 2006 - World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies - Honest!

Having a mom and dad that are both great southern cooks, I can cook pretty much anything...anything that is except chocolate chip cookies. I tried every recipe I could get my hands on, but to no avail. My poor attempts at cookies were so thin you could read the newspaper through them!

Then a friend took pity on me and shared her recipe. She makes these cookies and sells them to local coffee shops. Dh said after trying my first batch, "Now you are the perfect wife!" Ha! Try them...you won't be disappointed!

World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

2/3 cup butter Crisco
2/3 cup butter (I use 1 stick of butter and 3/4 cup of Crisco)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 t vanilla
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups flour
1 t salt, baking soda and baking powder
1 bag chocolate chips (this recipe is also great with peanut butter or butterscotch chips)

Mix ingredients (I just throw the wet ingredients in my KitchenAid, then add the dry and blend)
Bake at 325 for 15-20 minutes
Cool one minute and remove to rack (unless your family is eating them right off the cookie sheet!)

I can ruin the most fool proof recipe. I'll try them though!

Mmmm. This sounds very close to the recipe my mom used. Except hers read, instead of two eggs, "one egg and half an egg of water" which meant that you cracked the egg into the bowl, filled one half of the eggshell with water and added it.

Funny how those old memories come back. I haven't made chocolate chip cookies to my mom's recipe in some time. Our eldest developed severe wheat allergy a dozen years ago and I stopped baking for a long time, and when I started baking again I had lost my recipe box with my mom's recipes! (Aargh. It has got to be around here somewhere.) But reading through your recipe jarred something loose in my memory.

Hope you have a great day!

In Him,
Jean

I have the same issue with chocolate chip cookies. I can't seem to make a good batch. I am really hoping this is great. I'll let you know how mine turned out.
