In reply to Emily. Hi Emily, so sorry this happened! We added a full troubleshooting section to the post that addresses exactly what you experienced — the most common cause is shortening that was too warm or a pan that was still hot from a previous batch. Hope this helps!

This is a great recipe that came together nicely. I used a combo of milk, semisweet, white and butterscotch chips because it is what i had . I decorated the tops with more semisweet chips to make them pretty. I prefer the semisweet chips overall. I was hesitant to use a recipe heavy with white sugar rather than brown sugar but these taste and look great.

This is my new go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe! I make everything as is except I also add a teaspoon of butter extract to mine and I think it just elevates the buttery good taste from the shortening. Easy and amazing recipe! Thank you!

In reply to Miriam b. Maybe just add a little bit more flour? Cookies can be a little finicky based on altitude/humidity, etc.

Hi I’ve made these multiple times but sometimes I’ve noticed my cookies become more on the oily side and tend to flatten out can you tell me why that may be?
