"These are awesome! I read quite a few of the reviews and thank you to everyone who writes one. I used 1/2 white and 1/2 light brown sugar, 1-1/2 tsp vanilla, 1-1/4 cups flour. I rolled them in 1 inch balls, wet fork in cold water to flatten each cookie. I got 36 cookies. Perfect size. I have a confection oven, which bakes fast. I baked on 35"

"Very good chewy cookies. I used 1-1/2 sticks of butter and 1/2 cup of shortening and I use dark brown sugar and 2 tsp of vanilla. I put the batter in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to get a little firm. I like smaller cookies so I drop by 2 tsp. I bake for 10 minutes and cool on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Cooking time depends on your oven. This is a great recipe. Thanks Tyler!
