This is the recipe my mother always used when she made chocolate chip cookies (with the exception that hers called for 2 teaspoons vanilla). I used it for many, many years as well, and still very often do because everyone always seems to love them. Although I prefer baking with butter rather than shortening, the shortening seems to produce a cookie with a texture that many of us recall from our youth. Thanks so much for posting!

Does the cookie sheet have to be greased? I did just in case.

this is one of the very best chocolate chip cookie recipes I have ever made. I doubled the recipe, I only used two eggs because I didn't have any more I also used a mixture of margarine and butter.they are simply amazing incredibly chewy they have a wonderful texture.

Got fall bake fever and decided to make these. Very easy to make and tasty but I prefer butter in my cookies but I just had to try these and wouldn't turn them down if offered again, thank you for a great cookie recipe!
