My blog is almost 3 years old, and I’ve yet to put a chocolate chip cookie recipe on here.  That’s a shame because they are my absolute favorite and perfect dessert.  So how could I have waited so long?  Well…the truth is that Pinterest is full of some amazing chocolate chip cookie recipes.  I’ve made some really good ones from other bloggers that I really love.  I pin cookies on Pinterest like no tomorrow, and you can follow my Cookies board here if you love them like me.

But most of the cookies I’ve made are soft and chewy cookies.  Those are my personal favorite…until I tried these on vacation this summer.  I never thought I was a crispy cookie kind of girl.  But I tried some from my nephew’s fiance, and I was hooked.  And I was even more intrigued when she told me they were an old family recipe.  And….that they don’t have any butter!  They are made with good ol’ shortening!  I’m all about a good old-fashioned recipe like that.

I immediately knew I would be making them soon.  Once I finally got around to it, I was so surprised by how easy they were to make.  Most of the time, I have to chill my dough to prevent my cookies from spreading too much…but not with these!  They are super low-maintenance cookies!  All you do is mix them up, scoop them up, and bake ’em.   They come out perfectly!

And you know what else makes them so good.  They are filled with mini chocolate chips.  There are chocolate chips in every bite!  Just another key to a successful cookie!

I also tested these out on a Silpat mat and without one.  They came out great either way!  Like I said…LOW MAINTENANCE!
