You only need one chocolate chip cookie recipe in your life and this is the one! Literally best ever chocolate chip cookies! You will not regret saving this one. I have tons of memories from my childhood of nasty chocolate chip cookies. I’m not lying. We honestly joked that it was a curse because we tried dozens of recipes and had zero successes. Until this blessed recipe entered our lives, that is. If you too have searched in vain for the best ever chocolate chip cookies then search no longer my dears! I have found the perfect chocolate chip cookies and so… I just had to share them with all of you!

If you don’t have butter flavored crisco, you can sub for half butter, half regular crisco and they will turn out fine. But honestly, the true recipe is utter perfection.

I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. We have to freeze them so the two of us won’t eat them all.  Seriously.

    This is the nestle tollhouse recipe it calls for either butter or shortening, my family has been using shortening for as long as I can remember.
