Chocolate Chip Cookies
King Arthur's classic uses both butter (for flavor) and vegetable shortening (for chew and shape-holding) — that combo is why these cookies stay slightly puffed instead of spreading into thin disks. A teaspoon of vinegar and a touch of almond extract are the unexpected ingredients that round out the flavor.
