TWO-CHIP CHOCOLATE CHIPPERS

Two-Chip Chocolate Chippers image

When baking this chocolate chip cookie recipe, I am a stickler for using one stick of butter and one stick of margarine-the combination of fats gives the cookies terrific texture. And do not use a scooper-the tool compacts the cookies too much. -Lee Ann Miller, Millersburg, Ohio
