Sharon these are fantastic cookies! We loved the texture of these cookies and it is hard to describe but they have a flaky/crispy outside and an extra soft inside. We LOVED these cookies! What a difference in making a cookie without shortening and white sugar - these have a much better flavor. Have I said how much we love them? Great with a cold glass of milk for dipping too. Found and made in PRMR tag game.

Mmmm, great chocolate chip cookies indeed! <br/>Very different from the ones Ive made before in that they were very crunchy and even a little bit macaroon like. Very tasty though! I could hardly stop munching on them. :)<br/>I made half the recipe which left me with 10 chunky cookies.<br/>I reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup for half the recipe, but by mistake doubled the chocolate chunks. lol<br/>That way the cookies were packed with chocolate goodness.<br/>I was out of baking soda, so only had 1/8 ts left, so I made up for the rest with baking powder and it worked out nicely.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing a great cookie recipe with us, Sharon!<br/>Made and reviewed for Newest Zaar Tag Game July 2010.
