CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH A SECRET

Chocolate Chip Cookies with a Secret image

This was a basic cookie recipe I converted into a secret recipe using my wildest imagination. It's since become a family favorite, as well as one friends enjoy. If you are brave enough to try these (don't worry, you won't regret it!), play the 'guess what's in these cookies?' game. Your family will surely be surprised at this great mixture of flavors! Praline paste may be substituted for chestnut paste.

I love that this recipe uses a combination of butter and shortening. It gives the cookies the perfect texture. The cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

I'm not usually a fan of chocolate chip cookies, but these ones are amazing! The cookies are so soft and chewy, and the chocolate chips are perfectly melted. I'll definitely be making these cookies again.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The chocolate chips and sea salt complement each other perfectly. I love that this recipe uses both brown and white sugar, which gives the cookies a rich flavor.
