  1. I made these cookies as a treat for my daughter and I have to say that this recipe came out better than any chocolate cookie recipe I have ever tried. The cookies were just the right consistency of chewy and crispy. They were just like bakery cookies! The only thing I might change next time is the amount of vanilla. The taste of vanilla seemed a little too much for me. I like the idea of adding a little almond extract and I'll try that next time. Thanks for a great recipe!!!
     
  2. Oh me Oh My!!! Let first start off my saying T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U. I am so not a baker. I can make frozen cookies to safe my life. But I trying to tach myself how to cook better and baker. SO making homemade cookies. Is a big step up for me. Your instructions are sooooooo easy, I love the ingredients. I didnt use nuts cause I was making em for my hunee and he just likes original choco cookies. But they look amazing i used vegetable shorten cause that's what i had on hand. but follow everything else to the T. YUMMMY. THANKS again
     
  3. These truly are excellent cookies! This recipe is very similar to another one here at 'zaar, except this one uses Crisco. The Crsico makes the cookie just a bit crisper rather than chewy. Sometimes my family wants crispy and sometimes they want chewy, so now I can keep them all happy! I added 1/2 tsp. almond extract for extra flavor. Perfect! Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. These came out fantastic!! I used about 2 loaded tablespoons per 'big' cookie. They spread out so nice - about 3" across. If someone wants an even bigger cookie, just add a tablespoon more per cookie. I will definitely be using this recipe again. One thing to note - in the middle of making these, I discovered I only have about 1/2 cup of brown sugar left so with that and the 1/2 cup of white sugar - these were plenty sweet for me. Pam
     
  5. I made these for movie night at my DS's school, huge hit. Doubled the batch so that I could give them 2 dozen, and have some leftover for my family. Thank You!
