By far one of my most treasured heirlooms is my Great Grandmothers Betty Crocker cookbook from the 1940'S! I love it, not only because it was special to her, but for the comments and interesting facts included in the classic recipes. Here is what the book says about the Chocolate Chip cookie:
"NEW COOKY SWEEPS THE NATION" this luscious cooky from the New England toll house, Whitman Mass., enjoyed immediate and continuing popularity. it was introduced to homemakers in 1939 on the radio series 'Famous Food from Famous Places'".
These chocolate chip cookies are perfect and of-course always a crowd-pleaser. In high school my coaches and teachers enjoyed them so much that they self-implemented a Kelly Cookie Club and they asked me to bring them these cookies often!
Chocolate chip cookies
Ingredients:
 |
| Keep an eye on them while they are in the oven! |
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2 cups gold medal flour
1/2 tsp. Soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Heat oven to 375. Mix shortening, sugars, egg and vanilla thoroughly. Measure flour by dipping method or by sifting. Stir dry ingredients together; blend in. mix in chocolate chips. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2" apart on an ungreased baking shett. Bake 7-9 mins. or until golden brown.
TIP: I prefer to take them out when they still look soft and doughy, Let them sit on the baking sheet and cool then remove them. The hot baking sheet continues to cook the bottom to help hold these yummy cookies together!
