Chip: Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookies

Top Secret Recipes


Recipe Introduction

Here's the first recipe I ever made for the Top Secret Recipes books, inspired by that now-famous chain-letter fable. It's my version of the delicious Mrs. Fields cookies that are crispy around the edge and chewy in the middle. Be careful not to cook these too long. I know it becomes tempting to keep cooking these because they don't seem to be done after 10 minutes, but they will continue to cook for awhile after you take them out of the oven, and when cool, will be nice and chewy. Mmm...got milk?
