I hadn't made these since Home Ec. in Jr. High. As good as I remember.

I chose this recipe over the others on this site because this was one of the few that did not contain shortening, which is basically a vat of hydrogenated oil (trans fat). These were fantastic! I made large cookies, 19 in total, which were perfectly cooked after 10 minutes. The dough is sticky, but very manageable. The only thing I did different than the recipe called for was sift the dry ingredients and add them to the wet ingredients in three batches.
