  • Use 1 stick of Butter Flavored Crisco or one cup if you're using it from the jar. 
  • I use a whole 12 ounce bag of chocolate chips.
  • Do not over mix the batter once you've started adding the flour mixture. Barely mix!
  • For the perfect size and shape cookie, use a cookie scoop like this one
