Hi everyone--I'm searching for my long lost recipe from Woman's World magazine--from at least 15 years ago--"Deidre Hall's Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies"--made with oil instead of butter. These were the best cookies and my kids loved them. I'd love to make them again for my grandkids but I've lost the magazine clipping. I'd be so grateful if anyone could help me! Thanks in advance!

Nancy, I found this for Wendy in Vancover Island, Cda.

Deidre's Extraordinary Chocolate Chip Cookies (40-60 cookies)
I cut this recipe out from a "Woman's World" magazine. It is a great recipe that is supposed to be Deidre Hall's favorite. ? July 7, 2003

Deidre's Extraordinary Chocolate Chip Cookies (40-60 cookies)
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup butter, at room temperature (not melted)
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup oil
1 tsp. milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup nuts chopped (pecans, walnuts,etc.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl beat sugars and butter until smooth. Beat in oil, milk, vanilla, and egg until combined. Add flour, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar and beat until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

(I will sometimes add about 1/2 cup of sprinkles at this point as well. It gives it a real colorful appearance and kids love that!) Drop by 2 tablespoons, about 2 inches apart. Bake 15 minutes or until slightly browned on top.
