I would think the replacement of brown sugar for white (more molasses)Originally Posted by Housekeeper
might create a more crispy effect as molasses is a different type of sugar texture that may crisp up. Either that or - what did you replace with the crisco? The recipe calls for butter rather than crisco. Maybe that is why yours had a crispiness to them.
I think you may have answered your question with those two ingredients - worth a try anyway.

The host of the cooking show Good Eats did a show about the three types of chocolate chip cookies...Fluffy, Chewy and Crispy. He takes a basic recipe and shows how to alter it in order to arrive at your cookie texture preference. (ie increasing baking soda for a flatter cookie etc)
Here are the vids:

BC I would need to try the basic recipe and try to alter it in order to arrive..last time i baked a two layer cake i put the frosting on before it cooled off..i couldn't figure out why the frosting did not want to stick to cake until my laughing wife told me..that the cakes needed to cool 1st

Replacing the butter with butter flavored Crisco and using all brown sugar gave me perfect cookies!!
4 1/2 C all purpose flour
2 tsp bk soda
2 tsp salt
Mix together, set aside.
Cream together 2 C butter flavor crisco
3 C brown sugar
When fluffy add 4 eggs and 1 T vanilla ext.
Mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, then add 1 bag of chocolate chips. If you MUST spoil the cookies...you may add nuts at this point
Scoop with an icecream scoop (I think it's 1/4 C measure) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You'll get about 6 cookies to a pan. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes depending on your oven and how dark/crispy you like your cookies. Mine come out perfectly at 13 minutes. Browned and crispy around the edges, soft in the center.
Makes 25 huge cookies.
I made these and sent into the school yesterday for "birthday treat day" to celebrate my sons 11th birthday. I had teachers coming up and telling me how good my cookies are

I FOUND my recipe!!!! (it was stuck in the recipe box, under salads....go figure)
The only difference between what I used before and what I posted above is 2 eggs instead of 4. I think that's why they got that lovely crispy texture.

I use the Toll House recipe too, with a couple of changes. I don't the cookies as long as it says either. I bake them just until they start to brown. With the chips, I use a mixture of mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Since I use real butter, I add a tablespoon of flour to the mix.

My older brother once ate a PLATTER full overnight that I had made for the whole family of 7. There was not even one left. I was hoping he would get sick to his tummy but he didn't. Oi Vey, I was so upset at him for not thinking about anyone in the home except himself. Turns out, he lives his whole life that way and because he has curly blond hair, big blue eyes and a smile to win the mid-east over, he always gets away with it. ALHousekeeper....I made some today too while the deer was hanging. The guys found them so now out of 3 dozen cookies, they left me 3!!!
