I know I'm jumping on this comment t...Hey Liz,<br /><br />I know I'm jumping on this comment thread way late, but I just had to tell you how you've revolutionized my life! (Well, at least when it comes to making chocolate chip cookies.)<br /><br />You see, deep down I've always kinda felt like a failure in this department, because no matter which recipe I used, my cookies would never come out thick and soft (the way my husband and I like them). They would always flatten, and would be soft for about 2 minutes, and then become crispy.<br /><br />BUT, a few weeks ago I decided to try your recipe (following every direction perfectly), and the cookies were AMAZING!!! I'm one of those people who likes to know <i>why</i> I'm doing something, so your explanations of the steps were very helpful. I especially loved the directions for freezing dough balls. I LOVE having fresh-baked cookies without the hassle of mixing everything again.<br /><br />Alright, I'll wrap this up. I'm sure you've heard (and thought) all these things before, but I just wanted to thank you again for posting this recipe. I know it's hard sometimes to share special recipes, and this one would be especially hard since you devoted so much time to perfecting it. But just know that I (and my hubby and 4-year-old) are eternally grateful! :) Keep up the great work!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222201758068069086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-81251290851741476452010-06-13T18:31:51.188-07:002010-06-13T18:31:51.188-07:00Hey,

Congratulations on all of the hard work. For a two-year period during my childhood, my mom was on a quest to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie--which to her meant one like Mrs. Field's. Every Sunday night for two years, she would make another batch of chocolate chip cookies until she arrived at her version of a great chocolate chip cookie. It was a great two years of Sunday nights.Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297611795478079639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-76573926786613182192010-06-09T12:44:57.773-07:002010-06-09T12:44:57.773-07:00These both look amazing!

It is the BEST! ...however, when I my daughter was born she developed milk and soy allergies, meaning I couldn't eat milk or soy while nursing her. Crisco is all soybean oil, so I started using spectrum organics palm oil shortening. It is not as good as butter, but it is way better than crisco! <br />I'm going to end this rambling post by saying, I love you blog and your recipes. We've eaten something from your blog every night for the past week!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360774437805269866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-68349958578973973822010-06-09T12:38:47.682-07:002010-06-09T12:38:47.682-07:00I am always on the lookout for go-to cookie recipe...I am always on the lookout for go-to cookie recipes (note that I did not say "perfect" because like you, there are different cookies for different occasions!) Freezing is a great idea but my rule of thumb is I only bake when I have someone to give it all away to (minus a couple for me, of course!) Thanks so much for sharing your recipes & insights. Can't wait to try both of these!Jeanellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446232606140341091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-54416520874288719272010-06-08T20:06:31.522-07:002010-06-08T20:06:31.522-07:00Hi Elizabeth!

So funny that you wrote about E5 because as I was reading the first paragraph I was thinking, "I so remember Nate saying you made the best cookies ever and that you baked them on an upside down cookie sheet." You actually did win them over with your cooking... and they all said you made the best sandwiches. Something about salt and peppering cucumbers on top? Anyway, love your recipes and may your ego be massaged because those boys DID notice you!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07729456460349797315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-26523336100629510792010-06-08T18:42:52.958-07:002010-06-08T18:42:52.958-07:00I still have that recipe!

It's funny, because you gave me this recipe way back when, 4 yrs younger than me and just a little kid. But you seriously make the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever! You've always been a master at baking even if it never got you a E5 man. :)Melanie Cooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943936461854735640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307836168930196678.post-61093867528980217112010-06-08T15:53:32.209-07:002010-06-08T15:53:32.209-07:00you are so cute!
