Help me find THE recipe I dream of....

for chocolate chip cookies.

 

Years ago I recieved those recipe cards in the mail every six weeks. I had two sets going, one called Easy Everyday Cooking and the other was Easy to Bake Easy to Make (link here).

 

There was a recipe (I think) called Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies. It was divine, heavenly, amazing.

 

And I lost it. I have craved and longed for these blasted cookies for nearly 5 years.

 

Anyone have it and willing to share???? :D I'll send you some if you do!

I don't have THE recipe, but here's my favorite, from a cookbook produced from my sister's company (it's one where everyone contributes favorite recipes, and has recipes from their employees around the world):

 

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

1 cup butter flavored shortening (I use regular shortening)

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup sugar

4 Tbsp. milk

2 Tbsp. vanilla

2 Tbsp. molasses (I use 1 Tbsp, and it is plenty--you can still tell it's in there)

2 eggs

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

 

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream shortening, butter, sugars, milk, vanilla and molasses. Blend until creamy. Blend in eggs. Combine flour, salt & baking soda. Add to creamed mixture gradually. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop rounded measuring tablespoonful of dough 3-inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes. Remove to cooling rack. Makes 5 dozen cookies.

If you Google "Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies" and the name of secret ingredient, you might find the recipe online.

Try this one. It mentions the Easy to Bake Easy to Make club.

 

The really secret ingredient is lemon. Also cinnamon and oatmeal.
