About

This is my mom, grandma, and great-grandma's chocolate chip cookie recipe. It's a very, very good recipe, but as of late I've been using The Chewy. Both recipes are good, with this one making a thinner, more 30's style cookie, when cooking with 'new' ingredients like Crisco were the thing to do.
