Mrs. Fields Cookies
"Mrs. Fields is a chain of cookie stores which was started in the Utah area. I don't know if this is really her recipe, but it's sure a good imitation. This really makes a lot, so when I make them, I freeze several after them have been baked for later use."

This makes a large batch--too large to mix in my heavy-duty Kitchenaid. Next time, I will only make half of the recipe at a time to make mixing easier. I also found they cooked better if I smashed the balls to about 1/2 inch thick before baking. Overall, a very nice cookie. -
You should know Mrs.Fields started out in California,and that's where her first shops were,you can check yourself at mrsfieldsdotcom I'm sure these are great cookies though!

These are S-O-O-O-O yummy!!! I have a version of this recipe that is basically the same except that it calls for 24 ounces of chocolate chips plus an 8-ounce bar of plain Hershey's chocolate, grated. I made these without the grated chocolate. I also used all fructose instead of the white and brown sugars. Instead of the white flour, I used a mixture of three-fourths whole wheat pastry flour and one-fourth soy flour. -

I am married and have three children ages 9 to 16. I work full-time so between work and attending as many school functions as I can possibly fit in, I have little time to prepare "gourmet" type dishes which require a lot of preparation time. I like tasty, quick-fix meals that use ingredients that are usually in my house and don't require an extra trip to the store. When I'm not waiting on my family or working, I like to do counted cross-stitch and recently started a new hobby----quilting.
