Blue Ridge Mountains Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies have been served for over 75 years in the quiet village of Orkney Springs, VA. We have stayed in this retreat center called Shrine Mont where people come for rest, devotion, and fellowship. A couple of things set these cookies apart: butter and shortening ensure a thick cookie, soft in the middle, with a touch of almond extract.

Beautiful. The ones I made looked nothing like the picture but they were sooooo good. Thanks Roxygirl! Note: I used at least 1/4 cup less of each of the sugars, with the huge amount of choc chips that much sugar isn't needed. I also had less choc chips (coz I ran out) but there were still plenty in the cookies. -
This Chocolate Chip Cookie is a winner for my Cookie Monsters... This is the third time I've made them and I made a double batch only to have them disappear in record time. My house is the house where all the kids come after school, and all I heard was how "awesome" they were . This will definitely be a regular. Don't think I'll have a choice. lol I followed the recipe and used the 2 3/4 cups. of flour version and did refrigerate.

Roxygirl, I can't thank you enough for sharing an awesome, excellent, delicious, and PERFECT chocolate chip cookie recipe.They came out so pretty and picture perrfect. And these taste and texture were perfect too. Not too sweet not salty they were chewy inside and a little crisp outside. I submitted my photo, I think it's number 2. A word of advice for anybody who is having problems with this recipe: baking on dark cookie sheets such as Wilton's, makes a HUGE difference. They bake more evenly. I love this recipe,and I don't need to look any further! THANKS AGAIN Roxygirl!!!!

These were a bit salty for me... not sure why, maybe it was because I doubled it... ??? BUT, they are very good with the addition of kisses and chocolate chips, so next time I will make sure they have a bit of chocolate in every bite. ;)

These cookies are fabulous! I did use the 2 3/4 c. flour and they were thick and chewy and did not spread much at all. I used a cookie scoop for mine. I do not like flat crisp cookies, so these were perfect for me. The kids loved these and they couldn't get enough. Same with their friends. I did not care much for the taste of the dough and as my husband loves to eat cookie dough, he didn't like it much either, but he absolutely loved the baked cookie! These will be made often. Thanks for another fabulous chocolate chip cookie.
