This is the recipe for The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe! For the past few years I have just stuck with the same two recipes for chocolate chip cookies. Either the Nestle Toll House one on the bag, or the Neiman Marcus recipe if I have to make a LOT of cookies.
I thought I would try something new. I picked this one because I thought the combo of shortening and oil was a little different, since I only use real butter for cookies. They turned out really nice I think, they don’t spread out, they stay chunky and have a shortbread consistency. The kids and Paul gave two thumbs up!!

Thanks for the recipe. Looks yummy!!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a recipe with that much cream of tartar.
Follow-up: These are THE BEST chocolate chip cookies! I would recommend using a LARGE mixing bowl, not medium. I used rounded Tbs for putting the dough on the cookie sheets and it made 5-5 1/2 dozen cookies. And it took between 12-14 minutes to bake.
Thanks for the recipe Tammy. Keep up the good work!!
Apologize for goof-up in spelling my name and yours, Tiffany.

Teaspoon or tablespoon?
If it’s a lower-case “t”, it’s a teaspoon. Tablespoon is with an upper case “T”.
