Re: Rsn Cookie Exchange!
ORIGINAL TOLL HOUSE COOKIES
2 1/4 c. unsifted flour
3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 t. baking soda
1 t. vanilla
1 t. salt
2 eggs
1 c. Crisco
1 12-oz. pkg. Nestle Semi-Sweet Real Chocolate Morsels
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 F. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and
salt. In large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Beat til creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture. Mix well.
Stir in choc. chips (and nuts, if you must). Drop by rounded
tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes. Makes
100 2" cookies.
NOTE:
Make larger cookies if you don't like them crispy; if you like
them chewy, and it's easier not to overbake them if they are larger.
Make them 3-4" in diameter. Another variation, is to just press the dough
out in a jelly roll type pan and bake about 20-25 minutes. Then cut
into bars.
