I was at my friend's house and someone's mom brought over some chocolate chip cookies. They were the biggest, puffiest, fluffiest chocolate chip cookies I had ever seen or eaten. They were the best I've ever eaten. I started trying to replicate these and how no luck. I was wondering if any of you knew how to do this. Each cookie in the middle was probably about 1.5-2 inches tall. I've tried using more baking soda, using butter-flavored crisco, baking powder, and cake flour to make them bigger. None have worked. I've tried different combinations of these and had no success and haven't even come close. Any idea how to make these things big? I was thinking about trying self-rising flour or yeast next and seeing if that would work.
Thank you

It won't let me type a reply, so I have to answer this way. I'll try that recipe and see how it works out. Haha, yea, they were good. I asked for the recipe and "supposively" she uses the recipe on the Tollhouse package. She said that she lets the butter get to room temperature also. Tried that though. I was wondering if it could be the speed or amounting of mixing of the Crisco, eggs, and sugar. I use a manually turned mixer so I can't really get the stuff that fluffy.

I found this recipe in my local newspaper and it works great:
SOFT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsps. baking soda (place in the milk)
1 (12 oz.) bag chocolate chips or butterscotch chips
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and milk with baking soda. Mix together and add baking powder. Gradually add flour and stir well. Stir in chocolate or butterscotch chips. Place dough
on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees unitl light brown.
These turn out great, and they stay soft and taste great!!! Good Luck!
