Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 1/2 cups vegetable shortening (crisco) |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 large egg white |
2 -4 tablespoons warm water |
12 ounces miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Bring all ingredients to room temperature.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
3. Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
4. Use an electric mixer to mix the two sugars and shortening. When creamy add the vanilla extract, salt and egg white.
5. Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time, adding a tablespoon of warm water as necessary to mix the flour - don't exceed 4 tablespoons of water - this will make a firm dough.
6. Mix in chocolate chips. As the dough gets thicker you may want to mix by hand. Roll into 2-inch balls and press down with the palm of the hand to flatten. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
