I was trying go figure out what was off with these cookies after I had made them and then realized there is no salt in the recipe. Once I corrected that, they were very good.

My daughter and I left out the shortening and add in some rice crispies. Very good. They're still cooling in the kitchen, but we couldn't resist trying one.

Wow...thanks Kevin for sharing...these are wonderful cookies. I used a combination of semi sweet and milk chocolate chips. My DH just loved these...will definitely make again.

This is an excellent recipe - I like the perfect balance of the butter/shortening and the brown/white sugars. The cookies are really light without the usual dominating taste of brown sugar. The only thing I changed (because I live at an altitude of 7200 ft) is that I added about 2 Tablespoons flour to the dough after I baked a few test cookies.--- I have also made these cookies using 1/2 cup very coarsely chopped macadamia nuts (rub nuts between layers of a dishtowel to remove most of the salt before chopping) and substituted WHITE chocolate chips for the chocolate chips for a totally different taste. Thanks for a great recipe!
