This sounds like a light and crispy cookie- am I right?

[wwowie.livejournal.com]

Actually they're very dense chewy choco nutty cookies. Yum!

I sure got that wrong! And I call myself a baker...

I thought the crisco would make them light and flaky, and I thought the absence of a leavening agent would make them crispy.

I think it's the ton of flour in 'em?

[pusspower.livejournal.com]

Good point, and now I see that they do have a leaving agent- I missed the baking soda my first read through. Mondays are so rushed for me...

How's that early morning class going? Must energize you for the morning!

[pusspower.livejournal.com]

Nope- just makes me tired all day, but at least I have Monday nights off from exercise.

Very interesting variations -- I see a Southern note with the pecans, dark Karo syrup, and butter flavored Crisco. The original Toll House cookie is a New England invention. These cookies are just a couple of ingredients shy of being a chocolate chip pecan pie. :D

Big glass of milk is in order for those babies!

My name is Fomo and I have a bad case of Icon Acquisition Disorder!

IAD... I used to have that. Then I max'd out. So now I have to decide who goes to photobucket purgatory for a time. :)
