These chocolate chip cookies truly are the best that I have ever had the pleasure to eat. I am not alone in this claim! My friends and family loves them, too. In fact, some friends and family members get very disappointed when I fail to bring these cookies to family gatherings:-) Now, I’m sharing the recipe, so that you all can make these cookies whenever you have a craving.
- 1 cup butter flavored shortening (I prefer Crisco sticks)
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (Mexican vanilla tastes great)
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips (dark chocolate chunks are my favorite)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter flavored shortening, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
-
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips.
-
Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
-
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until light brown.
-
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
