The Best Chocolate Chippers

"I was babysitting a friend's baby one day and she brought me some of these for a reward. I insisted on the recipe and here it is. These freeze very well, too, if you have them that long."

  • Refrigerate til well chilled.
  • Drop from teaspoon 2" apart onto a cool greased cookie sheet.

  1. SO, so good! Would not change a thing!
     
  2. My mother-in-law has made these every day for 30 + years, and nobody ever gets tired of them. She is famous throughout the neighborhood for them. But the real secret is only baking them for about 8 minutes--they don't crisp up at all, they are very very soft. Just take them out about 1-2 minutes before you usually would think you should, and you will gain a reputation as the best baker around.
     
  3. You're absolutely right, bert, these are the best! It's an old Betty Crocker or Better Homes and Gardens recipe and one of my most prized. This makes a crisp chocolate chip cookie so if you like them soft, try another recipe with butter instead of shortening.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
