After trying countless chocolate chip cookie recipes this is my own personal concoction. Never again will I try chocolate chip cookie recipes with instant pudding (WHAT!!!), or all butter. I use regular shortening in this recipe, personally I don't like "butter flavored" products. I line my cookie sheets with parchment paper to keep the pans from browning over time. However, a regular ungreased cookie sheet works just as well. The base of this recipe is amazing as a multi-purpose cookie. I have varied the add-ins countless times. Some with great success, some, not so much.
