ADVICE
- Use real butter, not margarine.
- Triple the amount of vanilla extract
- Use real vanilla -- do not use vanillin
- Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk when mixing the dough, but make sure
if you do this that the dough is very cold and the cookie sheet is
also cooler than room temperature when dropping cookies. Otherwise,
the cookies will burn on the edges.
- If you want, leave out up to 2 tablespoons of the sugar.
- Add 10 ounces of Reese's peanut butter chips with the chocolate chips.
- Or butterscotch chips.
- Oatmeal can be used instead of nuts, but be sure to add more liquid.
- Honey can be substituted for brown sugar, adding shelf life, but make
sure it is a light honey, like clover.
- Maple syrup can also be substituted for part of the brown sugar.
- Use Toll House Chocolate Mint Chips for half the chips.
- Reduce chips and press M&M's onto the cookies when they come out
of the oven (do not mix with the batter).
- Don't skimp on the salt.
- Increase baking powder by ½ teaspoon for a higher, softer cookie.
- Use a cookie sheet without sides. The insulated kind work best.
- Add a tablespoon or two of powdered fructose to make cookies soft
throughout.
