I find the recent comments about lard, and now this, to be amusing. Do people really believe that life (and recorded history) started in 1950? Lard, a totally "natural" (if not healthy) ingredient has been used for hundreds, no, thousands of years. As for toll house cookies, the original Toll House (in Massachusetts) made the toll house cookie (hence the name) before the invention of margarine. Therefore, it is probably safe to assume that the orginal toll house cookies were made with butter (or maybe even lard?). BTW - the Toll House burned down last year. I wonder if it is to be rebuilt. trb at&t-ns cb "Possession is a clue, but not the game.
