  1. These are amazing! I have tried this recipe with both the regular and butter flavored shortening, and I prefere the regular. They taste great either way, though. I make exactly two dozen and bake them for 10 minutes.
     
  2. My Family Loved these and I will make them again. The only things differently that I did was take the reviewers suggestion of 1/2 tsp of salt, used real butter at room temperature, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Oh Ma Gah these do not last long and they don't turn out so flat. I put the doh in the fridge in between batches which also helped keep it's form for the next batch.
     
  3. i loved it!!!! the cookies were so soft and bendy, i recommend putting more vanilla extract because it makes it more flavouring and taste and smell like vanilla! hope that helps
     
  4. These are wonderful. The first time I made them, something was "off" but I wasn't quite sure what. This time, I cut the salt in half, and they're perfect. I got 4 dozen medium size cookies out of one batch.
     
  5. This is the Toll House recipe, just substituting shortening for butter and increasing the vanilla...still, they are delicious! I always halve the salt, use semi-sweet chips and lots of walnuts :)

I love being at home with my children..love paying for ALL the stuff my 2nd grader brings home...soccer fees, and basketball fees, and book orders...I love cartin' my kindergartner around, and then coming home and cuddlin' with my little girl, and shopping for her favorite thing...shoes. My husband and I are as tight as 2 people can be, and I hate it when he leaves for work and can't wait until the clock strikes 4:30 because I know that means he's on his way home. Life is good. I couldn't ask for more.</p>
