What better way to get the best of both cookies? DH doesn't like
walnuts and I don't like raisins, so we looked for a recipe with
chocolate chips. There are tons of them out there. Yummy!

This may be a religious issue, in which case there is no REAL solution.
Perhaps you can make one big batch of cookie dough, divide it into
parts, and add raisins to one, chocolate chips to another, etc. Then
there would be no "YOU ATE THE LAST COOKIE!" issues.
I think the recipe on the package of Toll House morsels (or whatever the
hell they call them) is that gold standard for CCC.

Well, I just won't offer you any, since it's against your religion...

Agreed - the best CCC in the world.

re "BLASPHEMY!", "religious issue" and "gold standard" ISTM there are
more appropriate newsgroups if you want to have a "best cookie" war. ;)
Wikipedia has a history and an alternate history of the chocolate chip
cookie.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_chip_cookie>
and this web page claims the recipe it's showing is for the "Original
Nestle® Toll House® Chocolate Chip Cookies".
<http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/original-nestle-toll-house-chocolate-chip-cookies/Detail.aspx>
re frugal-living: skip the nuts, use half the amount of chocolate chips
if you want to cut costs. You may or may not like the variation better
than the original recipe. . .
FWIW I like this fairly frugal recipe for "Chocolate Chip Oatmeal
Cookies" from Woman's Day.
yield: 4 trays of 20 (about 6 doz.) (amounts given are for double the
original recipe)
375 F for 12 minutes - greased cookie sheet
Cream together:
1 c. butter or margerine
1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
Beat in:
2 eggs
Stir in:
2 1/2 c. quick cooking oatmeal
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. chocolate chips (1 c.=6 oz.)
Drop on greased cookie sheet and bake.

Agreed, and no ingredient substitutions allowed! Follow the recipe to
the letter. And when they are done, enjoy your cookies with a nice
hoppy IPA to wash them down. mmm...
