Gum Drop Chocolate Chip Cookies
During my childhood one of my neighbors used to make these & give them out every Christmas. I adored these cookies, but was the only person in my family who did. So we never made them. Eventually we moved & lost touch with that nieghbor. As an adult I remembered these fondly & have tried several recipes. This addaptation tastes just like my dear old nieghbor's version & really brings the memories of Christmases gone by back. Great cookie to make with children.

This is the typical cookie recipe you would find on the back of a package of chocolate chips. Adding shortening is a trick from my mom. It keeps the cookie from being too flat and thin.

I decided to make chocolate chip cookies once and used the first recipe Google threw at me. It turned out to be the best chocolate chip cookies I'd ever had. They are very soft and moist. I would compare them to Subway cookies but not as flat.I kept making these often-requested cookies for a few years for all of my friends and family but then disaster struck! The recipe was removed from the app!Fortunately I had previously emailed the recipe to someone so now I'm re-posting this recipe for everyone to enjoy.
