Hi folks,
I posted in the introduction form and one of the things I mentioned is my never ending quest to make a choc chip cookie that my Grandmother made for us.
Let me tell you what I can remember about the baking process.
The cookies she made would be thick but would crumble in your mouth very delicately. I don’t think she used butter, I think it was shortening and probably a shortening that included or was exclusively animal based.
The color of the cookies was very light tan, they were not a golden color at all. I don’t think brown sugar played a part in it but it may have. The cookies did not taste of molasses like brown sugar does to me.
I have replaced my electric stove with a gas stove since that is what she used.
I do know she used baking soda, not powder, in the mix.
Can anyone give me directions to a chocolate chip cookie recipe that makes a thick, crumbly-tender, pale tan, and very light cookie?
I am trying today and will get some cake flour and Mrs. Tuckers shortening.
Wish me luck and I thank all of you for taking the time to read and respond.
Best wishes,
