Ingredients

Recipe from tollhouse chocolate chip cookie bag with these changes:

crisco instead of butter (yeah I know...yucky sounding, but makes chewier cookies)

add flour until bowl is cleaned by mixer, typically more than asked for

.....and by request, the full list of ingredients:

2 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup crisco (white, all vegetable "lard")

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 cups chocolate chips

Directions

Mix together flour, salt, baking soda, set aside

put into mixing bowl crisco, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla

mix at low speed

add eggs one at a time while mixing

add dry ingredients 1/3 at a time, pausing mixer while you add

add heaping spoonfulls of flour until dough cleans side of mixing bowl

remove from mixer, add 1/2 package of chocolate chips, fold in by hand

preheat oven to 25 degrees less than recipe calls for (350 degrees)

make extremely tall dough balls: 1 inch diameter, 2.5 inches tall

cook less than asked for, approximately 9-11 minutes until just starting to brown

remove, cool

enjoy....

These look delicious, but I've never seen Tollhouse cookies in the UK - please can we have the full list of ingredients? Also, is Crisco a white vegetable fat? Thanks

Man, these sounds DIVINE !!! I'm making them as soon as I get the chance. btw,I love using Crisco for my cookies too. ;o)

jocelynv 2 years, 2 months ago said:
I just baked these cookies yesterday. I NEVER cook with Crisco, but I gave the butter-flavored Crisco a try. I followed the directions exactly, baking at 350 for about 9-11 mins, but they came out just slightly too crispy for my liking. I was expecting "soft" and "chewy" with just a hint of a crisp on the outside. If I were to try again, I'd reduce the bake time to 7-8 mins, however, for health's sake, I'm going back to butter.

I made these for my family and who would have thought that I had been making inferior cookies all these years???? Thanks! They really love them.

Jocelyn, Climate may have something to do with the variation in baking times -- you're on the East Coast and Jim's not. Just a thought.

We alway made them with shortening too, they do taste better that way.

Crisco is the product name for a white lard sold in the US

Made them last night. They were really good - I sign up under all the previous comments here. Though afre 9-11 minures they weren't quite baked through, I thought, so I baked them for about 15 min. I figured out, that you have to keep an eye on them the whole time after 10 min, and pull them out, when the top just starts getting brownish. Worked good, my husband loved it. The are sure worth trying!!!! Thank you for the great recipe!

Just watched your video on youtube, thanks for sharing that! I think my family and I will get to know your mom throught her cookies since I will be baking these every week!

Great ideas!! I've made the Tollhouse Cookie recipe on the back of the bag and every time they turned out like rocks. I also found that adding more brown sugar and less white sugar makes a chewier cookie too. :)
