Chocolate chips!

You will have to adapt your baking here. You can't get Crisco in the stores…you can get it online from importers but it's expensive. Costco is going to be the best place to find things. I love using Pam and the don't sell that here. I buy the big Costco brand cans and it last me a long time. I use the Tollhouse recipe for cookies but they never turn out like they used to in the US.

Honestly, someone will have to pry my Costco card out of my cold, dead hands.

Plain chocolate is a fine substitute, but it's really not the same - I stock up on the big bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips every time I go to Costco. I also use their plain flour (Marriage's brand or something?); it seems to have the right gluten content for using in American recipes and doesn't go completely flat every time I bake cookies.
