I love to bake. I also love cookies. I have tried many chocolate chip recipes and this recipe is my favorite. With many of the other recipes I tried,I had mixed results: fantastic cookies one time and flat cookies the next. This recipe provides "perfect" cookies every time. They are wonderful.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter (best if softened)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 12 ouce package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
In a mixing bowl beat the shortening and butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1 and 1/2 cups of the flour, the brown sugar, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and baking soda. Beat the mixture until thoroughly combined. Beat in remaining 1 cup of flour. Stir in chocolate chips.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

This sounds like a recipe I've used before! I think it's the brown sugar that makes all the difference, right?
Now I feel like buying the ingredients tomorrow!
I am totally gonna let my little one try making these. Our cookies always turn out...just OK.
Oh these sound good! I love to bake and will try these for my boys. Thanks for sharing
I know what you mean about sometimes flat and sometimes just right-I have a favorite one too, but I am ALWAYS ready to try a new cookie recipe:)
Yummmm...I love choco chip cookie! I wish I could have one right now. :-)
Thanks for posting this - I can't wit to try it!
These sound awesome! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Can't wait to try 'em!
I'm embarrassed to say that it took me over a month to try this recipe. Just made these cookies tonight - and even with my substitution for the egg, they are SO yummy!
I now have a GOOD reason to use my electric mixer (I usually prefer a spatula or whisk)!
Thanks for sharing!
