Did you know the Toll House is gone and there's a Wendy's and condos there now, but Ruth Wakefield's house still stands. At any rate our neighbor baked the best ever and my mother kept asking. She said she followed the recipe on the package. Mom tried butter, margarine, and both, but they were never as good. Eventually we learned that it was Crisco and just a tad more flour, with the Nestle's chips. When you grow up in that area, you know what a real CC cookie is supposed to taste like. Who has time for chilling when the grandkids are coming?
