Cooking Notes

I am making cookies to hand out during he march on Washington tomorrow. Proud to have supported Secretary Clinton for President. W could all use a cookie now.

Definitely a nice chocolate chip cookie recipe. Don't make them too big, though, otherwise they'll bake unevenly. I'll try half shortening, half butter next time instead of all shortening.

Made these with Pamela's all purpose gluten free flour and substituted butter instead of shortening--everyone was raving about them. They did spread out a bit though, not sure if it was the butter or the gf flour that did that.

Have been making these cookies since she first published the recipe and they are hands-down my family’s all-time favorite. No changes.
