I didn't bake a batch of failed cookies today



Here they are.  No, they're not flat OR tall.




Here's a close up.

 I have a love/hate relationship with choco chip cookies.  I love the dough, I hate that every time I make them, they end up flat or mountainous.  Usually flat.  It makes me so stinking MAD!  Well, today I mad cookies and they turned out just the way I dream of cookies turning out.  It was glorious.  I'll share the recipe, just in case any of you chums want to try it out for yourselves. 

Chocolate Chip Cookies that Didn't Fail
1/2 c. butter- softened in my micro for 18 seconds
1/2 c. butter flavor crisco
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. white sugar
Cream all that crap together.
Now add:
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla- real live vanilla not the crappy fake stuff
Mix all the first crap with the eggs and vanilla
Now add:
3 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Mix all this crap together- it'll be a little crumbly, just mix it good.
Finally add:
1/2 bag of guittard milk chocolate chips and 1/2 bag guittard semi sweet chocolate chips
Stir it up with a big strong spoon.
Place on baking sheet and bake 8-10 minutes in a pre-heated 375 oven.
Put the dough in the fridge while each batch is cooling and cool off the cookie sheets with cold water before you put more dough on it.  I've never done this before today- maybe it's why they turned out better.
