- Pull the cookies out when they're not quite done and let them cool on a wire rack. This will make them softer and gooier.
- If you run out of eggs, you need to go get more. Just because corn syrup looks kind of like a raw egg, doesn't mean it will work the same. Trust me.
- Always add at least four times the recommended quantity of chocolate chips.
- Never touch Crisco with your bare hands. Unless you want water to bead on your hands when you wash.
(And as a side note, I always use Kathryn's recipe)

Who thought corn syrup was a good substitute for eggs? Yuck!
Um, that would be me. I was out of eggs and was looking for something I could substitute. In my hour of desperation I thought that maybe since corn syrup was thick, runny, and look like an egg white it would work.
It didn't.
I remember the Karo syrup fiasco. I love you! You make great cookies.
Half a banana = one egg.
I try to make baked goods without animal products, and I've found that this substitute works quite well. It can also add a slight banana flavor to the cookie. The cookies might be a little more "cakie", however, when using banana instead of egg.
Thanks for the shout out.
