New England Toll House Chocolate Chip Cooky image

What a great day to have my in-laws over and Mom, Cheryl baking with my husband Anthony. It's a fond memory for him making these Chocolate Chip cookies with his mother. It's a very old Betty Crocker Cookbook she brought along to make the recipe with. Since 1939, we Americans have been enjoying this classic cooky (as they spelled it. I only hope we have a few more moments like this. It is a great recipe and slightly different than the other one I have posted.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup(s) shortening, butter flavored
1/2 cup(s) granulated sugar
1/2 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 1/2 cup(s) flour, gold metal brand
1/4 cup(s) flour (for a softer rounded cooky -- add this)
3/4 teaspoon(s) soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) semi-sweet chocolate pieces (1 cup) or 6 oz.
1/2 cup(s) chopped nuts, optional

Steps:

  • Set oven to 375 degrees. Mix together shortening, sugars, egg and vanilla till well combined.
  • Measure out your flour after sifting. (For a softer, rounded cooky, add 1/4 cup more flour.) Stir dry ingredients together; then blend in to the other mixture. (Love my Tupperware sifter!)
  • Mix in nuts & chocolate pieces. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls of dough about 2" apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes till lightly browned. (Cookies should still be soft.) Let cookies cool on sheet for a minute or two before placing on a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy your cookies with some nice cold milk.
  • I wanted to add a photo of Anthony & his parents as well for special memories.
