Day 21: A Recipe

ahhhh. the recipe we use to make chocolate chip cookies. we've had it maybe my whole life. haha. it came with a package of Crisco and we just keep it and whip it out when we need it. I found it on their website, so hopefully they haven't changed it since then. please try these. they're so delicious.

it makes about 3 dozen cookies, by the way. and we don't do the whole nut thing. but if you like nuts, go for it.
