Neighbor Judy’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
Introduction
I am officially done with the Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe. Like so many others,
mine always turned out flat and overly spread out. Maybe it’s the extra water in modern butter
that our moms didn’t have back then. I love using real butter (not Crisco), and I want cookies
with some puffiness, soft centers, and perfect edges.
This is my neighbor Judy’s recipe, and let me tell you—her cookies are always delicious and
beautiful. I just pulled these out of the oven and they are everything a chocolate chip cookie
should be. Best part? No white sugar.
🧾 Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (not melted)
1 cup packed brown sugar (no white sugar!)
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
