My husband and I finally went out on a date just the two of us about a week ago. That is a rare treat since we had our little boy. My husband's sister watched our boy that night so as a Thank-you, I baked these delicious cookies for them. I found this recipe at "Sisters' Cafe" and the cookies were soft and really tasty. I used butter and shortening and that was my first time using shortening in cookies. I thought the shortening brought out uniquely delicious flavor... But you may replace shortening with all butter. I had a couple, I couldn't resist. My 7-year-old nephew told me how much he loved these cookies so I was happy! :)

That looks great, I have looking for a better chocolate chip recipe.
ReplyDeleteyumm indeed.. nice clicks..
ReplyDeleteSook,
ReplyDeleteSoft chocolate chips cookies looks really awesome.
They look delicious! The last time I baked CC cookies I used really soft butter. They spread horribly and were flat as a pancake. I will never use butter that soft again! I should have taken the time to refrigerate the dough as it says in the recipe you used. I have since grated cold butter and it works well. The addition of shortening is great also.
ReplyDeleteWish I had one of your cookies right now! Yum! Sounds like you made your nephew very happy!!!
I saw that recipe there too and tried it since I love soft cookies. Yours look softer than mine though. They were yummy!
ReplyDeletei love a soft baked cookie, that's the only way i can eat it.. thanks for sharing..

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and yummy thank you gift! I'll bet they were much appreciated. Who doesn't love a chocolate chip cookie?! :)
ReplyDeleteI love soft cookies! These look like they just melt-in-your mouth!
ReplyDeleteWell done managing to get out! Nights out are never the same when you have kids are they. My husband and I spent our first night post-kid huddled in the corner of a party complaining to each other that we were tired and just wanted to go to bed before we got woken up at midnight to feed our 3 month old. Happily these days we manage to stay the distance a bit longer!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look awesome, I need to master chewy cookies, mine are always bit too crunchy.
glad you were able to have some quality time with your hubby! :)
ReplyDeletei often use shortening in my chocolate chip cookies--you're right that it adds a very unique and appealing flavor and texture. this looks like a great recipe!
This looks new to me....soft. Looks delicious. I would love to try. Chocolate chip cookies are my favourite.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a fabulous date night with your hubby! Those cookies look crazy good - if they were in front of me right now I think I could eat every one:) Look forward to making them in the near future!

ReplyDeleteyum can't beat a good choc chip and would I feature your salmon recipe on an Alaskan Seafood Company blog I write for and link back to you?

Those cookies look terrific, Sook. Usually I'm leery of shortening in cookies, even when combined with butter, but it certainly does make for a tender cookie. I'm adding thesr to my 'must try' choco chip' recipe file :) Also, glad you enjoyed your date night with hubby! Hard to come by when you have a kid..from what I hear lol
