Notes

Recipe last updated: November 21st, 2020 at 04:51 pm

Grandma's original recipe used 1 cup of shortening and 2 cups of chocolate chips. I've modified it in the recipe by replacing 1/4 cup of shortening with butter and using only 1/2 cup chocolate chips. This change added 2 calories and 1 mg cholesterol per serving from the original recipe.

FOR HIGH ALTITUDE BAKING (5,200 feet): Increase flour to 2 1/2 cups. Add 2 teaspoons water with flour and reduce both granulated sugar and brown sugar to 2/3 cup each. Bake drop cookies for 8 to 10 minutes and pan cookie for 17 to 19 minutes.
