Chocolate Chip Cookies

Teresa Ambra
Chocolate Chip Cookies are spectacularly mouthwatering. This is the first recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies I ever made and they are still our family's favorite recipe for these scrumptious cookies. Every cookie will have you drooling. They're perfect for holiday, tailgating or office parties. Be forewarned! If you enjoy Chocolate Chip Cookies, these cookies are addictive! You won't be able to stop at just one.

Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 2 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup Crisco shortening no substitutes
  • 2/3 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup nuts chopped, we usually omit
  • 12 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips to press into the top of the cookies

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • Mix thoroughly shortening, butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla baking soda and salt with an electric mixer until well combined.
  • Stir in flour, 12-oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips and nuts if you are using them.
  • Roll dough into balls and place onto greased baking sheets.
  • Press 5-6 additional chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes or until light brown.
  • Rotate cookie pans on oven racks every six minutes of baking time.
  • Cool slightly before removing from baking sheets.

Notes

NOTE: We usually take these out of the oven while the cookies are still raising and just getting ready to go down slightly. That way they are perfectly crispy on the outside while still being gooey and delicious on the inside.
 
NOTE: You cannot use all butter in the recipe or the cookies will flatten out too much.
