Not Like Mom Makes Toll House Cookie Recipe
A large-batch, rich chocolate chip cookie recipe with a unique sweetness and crispy edges, perfect for feeding a crowd or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put all ingredients into an industrial size mixer.
- Mix ingredients until smooth.
- Put cookies on well-greased, floured sheets.
- Bake until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your shortening is at room temperature for easier mixing. If you don't have a large industrial mixer, consider halving the recipe. You can substitute half of the shortening with unsalted butter for a richer flavor, and if you run out of chocolate chips, you can add chopped nuts or dried fruit instead. This recipe is a great way to experiment with variations found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are perfect on their own, but you can serve them alongside a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. They can also be paired with coffee for a warm treat or served at gatherings. Try them with a slice of Red Turner'S Rig Cake for an indulgent dessert table.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftover cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. To reheat, simply microwave for a few seconds or warm in an oven at 350°F until just heated through, ensuring they remain soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe?
Yes, you can reduce the sugar by about one-third without significantly affecting the texture. Keep in mind that this might alter the flavor slightly, so adjust to your taste. Alternatively, consider using a sugar substitute that measures cup-for-cup like stevia or erythritol.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, you can add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Also, chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help firm it up and make it easier to scoop.
Can I add other mix-ins to the cookies?
Absolutely! Feel free to incorporate other mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or different types of chocolate. Just ensure that you don’t exceed the total volume of chocolate chips to maintain the proper texture and taste.
