For extra fluffy cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. If you want a chewier cookie, replace some of the shortening with more butter. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add-ins like nuts or dried fruit.

May 27, 2025The cookies spread out a little more than I expected, but they still tasted great. I might try chilling the dough next time.
