I used to think that that was the best recipe but a few years ago I found this one and it is AMAZING. It ends up being a chewy cookie that everyone comments on!
‘Hershey’s Soft & Chewy Cookies’
1 Cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
3/4 Cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 Cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 pkg (10-12 oz) Chocolate (or any flavor) chips
Beat butter and sugars till fluffy. Add corn syrup, egg and van, beat well. Add flour, baking soda & salt (stir together, first), beating until well blended. mix in chips. drop by rounded tsp (I use a small ice cream scoop)onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 min at 350.
Variation: decrease flour to 2 1/4 cups and add 1/4 cup cocoa to make choc cookies.
I usually use the candy covered choc chips, mixed with regular mini chips in the vanilla cookies and peanut butter chips in the chocolate cookies. YUM!!!
This recipe comes from a cookbook/pamphlet called ‘Bake Sale Favorites’
