Thank You Rachel and Grammy too! I have been on the quest for the perfect cookie recipie for choc chip cookies and I think I have found it. Not to thin, not to puffy, tasty, not too chewy and not to hard. I made only a couple of subtle changes, used 3/4 c shortening and 1/4 c melted butter. I also added extra flour after mixing until the batter felt stiff enough. I chilled the batter overnight and baked the cookies on my dark nonstick sheets for about 9 minutes. I even made a batch using indulgent trail mix I picked up at the store. Thanks again Grandma!!!
