best chocolate chip cookies
This is a recipe I adapted from a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook I purchased at Costco when I was
first married. I have made them over and over again and now my daughters call home for the recipe and
bake them for their friends.
I substituted butter flavored Crisco for butter, because the butter seems to make the cookies spread. I also
cut down on the amound of sugar called for.
These cookies are best eaten warm out of the oven, but they will keep for several days.
