Baking chocolate chip cookies with my mother is one of my fondest memories. She never used a mixer. She mixed the dough in an extra large Tupperware bowl with her handy dandy wooden spoon. I loved making the cookies with her.

2.5 cups of brown sugar (googled it) 🙂 Can’t wait to try these!
What can we use in Israel instead of shortening?
How many cups is one-pound of light brown sugar? Thanks!
