Tips & Storage
- These chocolate chip cookies can be made with either 1 cup of butter or ½ cup butter and ½ cup of shortening. While I prefer the flavor of all-butter cookies, the appearance and texture of those with the shortening is nice (see example picture)
- I like to mix 3 different types of chocolate chips while making these: regular semi-sweet, milk, and mini semi-sweet chips. I love milk chocolate, but the semi-sweet keeps them from tasting too sweet, and the mini chips help fill in the dough!
- For smaller cookies, use 1 scoop of dough. For larger cookies (like the ones shown here), combine 2 scoops of dough together.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container with half of a piece of bread (or smaller). The cookies will absorb the moisture from the bread and stay soft longer.
- Or, store in the freezer and let the cookies thaw or microwave them prior to eating
