Chocolate-CHIP Cookies

The extra special Santa Shrine Cookies that are a part of the offering to St. Nick, came from a recipe within the 1953 Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book . They just called them Chocolate-Chip Cookies though.

The 1953 version is apparently one BH&G's most popular cook books.  So much so, that it was reprinted in 2005. The entire book was reprinted with an aged look, having a "nostalgic patina"!

Each category in the cook book binder is divided by super cute illustrations of happy baking and cooking scenes....

There are 50 color illustrations of lovely garnished meals and place settings...

Here is the sacred recipe.....it is very basic, but more importantly, it is Santa approved!
