How to bake chewy cookies
If the recipe calls for 1 cup of butter, margarine or shortening, use equal portions of margarine and shortening.
For instance, if it calls for a cup of butter, use 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup margarine.
Mix all remaining ingredients as indicated in the recipe.
For perfectly sized cookies, roll into balls and flatten slightly right before baking. Equally sized cookies will cook the most evenly.
