These cookies were given this name, because a dear friend treated us to a LARGE container of these at a women's retreat. I have been told that it is basically just the toll house recipe and would love to give credit to them if that is true (although I have never checked...), but it is truly the love of this friend that makes these so special! These are a FAVORITE in our home now too! IT MUST be the LOVE!
2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
2 c. brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
4-4 ½ cups flour*
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 bags milk chocolate chips
Cream together shortening and sugars. Beat in eggs, one at a time until fluffy
Add vanilla
Sift together dry ingredients and add to the creamed mixture.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheet. I line my sheets with silpats.
Bake at 375 for about 10 minutes**
* Start with 4 cups flour and add in any extra needed to make a nice soft sticky dough.
** We like these slightly underbaked. Please adjust time according to your preferences and so no one gets sick.
