Is there a special ingredient you put in your chocolate chip cookies?

Do you want soft cookies or crispy cookies. Use shortening and brown sugar for soft cookies, or margarine/butter and white sugar for crispy cookies.
The quality of the chips makes a difference. I prefer mini chips then there are more chips per cookie.
And cinnamon is oddly enough added to some chocolate chip cookies.
How about cocoa powder to make a doulble chocolate cookie, or cocoa and white chips.
Ummm, I think I have to go do some baking now.

I like using real sweet cream butter, rather than shortening or margarine. Gives the cookies a better taste.
The quality of the chocolate will also make a difference. Toll House chips are good, but Ghirardelli chocolate chunks are better!
For **really** good cookies: use a food processor to finely chop walnuts and/or pecans into a powder. Use this nut powder in place of 1/4 or 1/2 of the flour.
However you decide to make your, can I have some when you're done baking? I LOVE homemade chocolate chip cookies!

I've started adding just a bit (about 1/2 teaspoon) of freshly grated nutmeg to my chocolate chip cookies. It's enough to make a difference, but not enough for most people to be able to distinguish the taste. People always ask me why they taste so good.
I've also added dried cranberries before. It makes for a yummy cookie.

I prefer to use shortening in chocolate chip cookies rather than butter of margerine. They don't spread out so much and are not as flat.

I've made them with a recipe that calls for using melted butter mixed in with the sugar (rather than creaming softened butter into the sugar like you do with nearly every cookie recipe.)
This makes for a chewy cookie.

a few white chocolate chips always makes them taste nice :) Plus I always cook them for less time than the directions...they look like they're not cooked but once they cool, WOW are they chewy!
