In all honesty, the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever had is the one on the Tollhouse chips package. They even stayed soft and chewy for a week! Last time we put peanut M&M's in instead of the chips for Valentine's Day. The red, white and pink were really pretty in them.

Answer 4

A friend gave me her recipe for chocolate chip cookies about 15 years ago -- these are so good, and make A LOT.

1 c. butter, room temp
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 t. salt
1 t. vanilla
2 c. all purpose flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
2 cups dry quick cooking oats
2 c. corn flakes
1 c. mini chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts

Combine all ingredients in a very large mixing bowl, blending well. Drop by teaspoon onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Allow room between cookies, they will spread during baking. Bake 10 - 12 minutes at 375 degrees, or until light brown. Let cool on cookie sheet 1 minute before transferring to wire rack.

Answer 5

These were given to me from my great grandmother. They are sooooooooo good!!! Do not double the recipe will not turn out the same. What I do it make 2 batches in 2 bowls.


INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups all-purpose flour


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine flour, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine soften butter with shortening, sugar and brown sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually add flour mixture and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.
Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8-10 min. Note: I take them out of the oven before they start to turn dark! Do not double this recipe, or they don't bake soft. Can make this recipe for bars too. Spread dough into greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake them at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes.

Urban Legend Chocolate Chip Cookies

"You may have heard this story...a woman asks to buy a cookie recipe and is told it will cost 'two-fifty.' She thinks this means $2.50, but then she gets her credit card bill back and finds out it is $250.00. Outraged, she spreads the recipe far and wide to try and get her money's worth. I first heard this story 6 years ago and was given a recipe on a sheet of paper which bore the date '1986.' The supposed originator of the recipe was a well-known cookie company. I have since heard this tale again several times, with the recipe originating from different upscale department stores. True story? Who knows, but it's a darn good cookie. Here's my version."

COOK TIME 8 Min
READY IN 1 Hr

INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 cup white sugar

* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
* 4 ounces milk chocolate, grated
* 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Measure oats into a blender or food processor, and then blend to a fine powder. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir dry ingredients into creamed butter and sugar. Add chocolate chips, grated chocolate, and nuts.
3. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven.
