Default Looking For A Really Good Cookie.

Thin mint cookies from the Girl Scouts were good, maybe they still are. Might try Amazon to get a few boxes.

Freshness may be a concern. I heard that whatever the Girl Scouts were unable to sell they chuck them on over to Amazon.

Make your own:

For my money, though, nothing beats a homemade chocolate chip
cookie (made with butter, not margarine or vegetable shortening).

Hear hear!! Vegetable shortening gives a little crispier CC cookie,
but at what flavoir sacrifice? Would you spread Crisco on a cracker or
bread and eat it? NO! Then why use it in cooking?

Shortening isn't used for flavor but for texture and stability. It keeps the dough from melting and spreading out in CCCs. I wouldn't want to spread coco butter on a cracker either but it's still important in making chocolate.

The best ones are made by a cute blue-eyed blond gal that really enjoys baking. If you don't have one of those, I guess GS cookies will have to do.

If you are making home made Toll House cookies, what do you care more
about? Texture and stability or flavor?

Butter isn't the main flavor in a Toll House cookie. I've made these cookies both ways. I don't like to see cookies getting all flat in the oven. That's just my awesome opinion. There are some cookies where a butter flavor is of primary importance. Those are tasty too.

So tell us, why is Crisco Bwrrryan's and your lubricant of choice for
anal sex?

It's all a matter of opinion. My "awesome opinion" is that butter is
yummy, and Crisco has no place in my kitchen.

We all have to follow our own vision. I don't mind other people's awesome visions. I'll eat other people's cookies, no problem! Just don't ask me to toss anybody's cookies. Hee hee.

My CC cookies are the best, with 2/3 butter and 1/3 oleo. And John K., you have it
opposite...butter makes them crisper, and margarine makes them softer.

I don't care much for those GS cookies. We've had to sell those things
myself. These days I just buy the whole allotment outright and give the
stuff away. I really don't like asking people to buy fund-raising items.
That's a real drag.

As any parent knows, it goes with having kids.

But maybe that will change.

You got that all wrong - Hawaii is a trending, exciting, kind of place
foodwise. We got foods here that you've never imagined. You can just
come off of your high-horse barbecue grill mister!

Ha ha, those guys would send kids out into the cold and dark on one of
the scariest nights of the year to collect spare change. Could people be
more heartless?

My guess is that one of the terms of his parole would be no GS cookie
sales within 200 yards of his residence.

Luckily, there's laws protecting kids from the horrors we had to go
through these days. The smell of milk in the lunchroom and the stink of
rotting milk in the dumpsters is a most unpleasant memory of those early
school days. I'm glad I don't have to smell stinky milk anymore!

I think you heard wrong. Although you can buy them there, I have read that
nobody but the scouts are supposed to sell them. If you do see them for
sale there, it is likely some unscrupulous person who bought them to resell
at a higher price. I was at Winco today and saw some thin mint cookies. I
think it was their brand.

Yes. I find that shortening is necessary for some cookies. In some case,
half that and half butter. I would never use it in something like Spritz or
Shortbread though.
