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.

How To Make new england toll house chocolate chip cooky

Step 1

Set oven to 375 degrees. Mix together shortening, sugars, egg and vanilla till well combined.

Step 2

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!)
Step 3

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.
Step 4

Enjoy your cookies with some nice cold milk.
Step 5

I wanted to add a photo of Anthony & his parents as well for special memories.
