This is a classic recipe, slightly adapted. It's especially perfect for high altitude cooking, as I live at 7,000 feet above sea level and it's hard to make cookies rise just right. Bake slightly longer for crispy cookies, slightly less for chewy. Ingredients:
1/4 cup shortening |
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup white sugar |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 large eggs |
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups chocolate chips (i use ghirardelli brand) |
Directions:
1. Sift dry ingredients together and set aside.
2. Cream shortening, butter, and sugars together, then eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Slowly blend in dry ingredients, about a third of the total amount at a time.
4. Stir in chocolate chips.
5. Drop by large tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between to allow cookies to spread.
6. Bake at 375°F for 11-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
7. Makes 2-3 dozen cookies depending on size.
