Mmm...Cookies!

I made chocolate chip cookies tonight and think I found the right balance of every ingredient..FINALLY! I've been having a hell of a time getting things just the way my brother wants them. He loves cookies and I've just wanted him to have them the way he wants them, because I loveses him thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss much! <3
They turned out nicely! I used mini chocolate chips and shortening in place of butter.


And...I made my brother a giant cookie! [1/3c measuring device there for comparison]

The big cookie was just a hunk of cookie dough that wouldn't make an entire batch, so I thought it would be neat to make Jim a big cookie. I think he was happy about it!

[See recipe by clicking post title. All I did was use shortening in place of butter and left out the nuts. Have a look around the VBB site, it has some delicious recipes!]

Ok, so the picture doesn't look so appetizing, but it tasted yummy. It also stayed together really well and cut easily. There were some complaints about not enough sauce, but I thought it was good with one jar. However, if you decide to try this recipe and you're a sauce lover, you might want to try another cup to cup and a half of sauce.
