"Chockful O Chips, A Collection of Chocolate Chip Recipes" by Peggy Seeman.

With the spate of "Mrs. Fields" and "Niemen Marcus" $250 chocolate chip cookie recipes, I thought someone might want to try the following. It does sound good. The author insists that you dont make substitutions and gives brand names.

Makes it sound authentic, doesnt it.

Preheat oven to 350.

DO NOT SUBSTITUTE INGREDIENTS (says the author)

Cream together with electric mixer until fluffy the sugars, shortening, eggs, vanilla and milk.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and gradually add to creamed mixture. Mix well with a spoon. Do not use electric mixer.

Stir in chocolate chips, oatmeal and pecans.

Drop by teaspoonfuls on lightly greased cooking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. (The key to these cookies turning out well is mixing the wet ingredients thoroughly until light and fluffy and in not overbaking)
