We have refrigerated dough before -- sometimes we make cookie dough just because we feel like eating cookie dough, not cookies. :) Our recipe is the good, old Nestle Toll House recipe, but I use shortening instead of butter, and use half the amount, and underbake them just a bit. Delish!

Two things I have found to make a huge difference in the perfect cookie quest: add about ¼-½ teaspoon lemon juice, this brightens the chocolate flavor (it is sooo good and you do not get a lemony taste at all) and refrigerate the dough at least 12 hours (I know, I know --- who could make all that yummy goodness and not bake it right away?!! -- so bake a few and then refrigerate the rest). refrigerating the dough can make it hard to scoop out, so I pre-scoop my room temperature dough into balls and pile them on a plate or cookie sheet. They don't have to be exactly perfectly shaped at this point. And please post her recipe!!!<br />Elizabeth Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300646022989510785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-11436998092797899592015-05-24T10:38:56.421-05:002015-05-24T10:38:56.421-05:00I never do anything remotely techie.
