How is it possible to have a baking blog and NOT include these lovelies?? It's not. So I'm including them! They are just as tasty as can be and they are sooo easy to make! We make them in quadruple batches. Yup. We go big.
Don't they look mighty fine??. . .despite the less-than-spectacular photography. . . .
They are just the greatest...and they go super quick at my house!
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
2/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts (opt.)
~Mix shortening, sugars, egg and vanilla thoroughly.
~Measure flour by dipping method or by sifting.
~Stir dry ingredients together; blend in to wet mixture. Mix in nuts (completely optional. In fact I recommend leaving them out!!! But to each his own haha ) and chocolate chips (now these guys are a MUST! I mean, they ARE chocolate chip cookies after all...but uh, maybe I do leave them out occasionally...or substitute butterscotch chips, or peanut butter chips...or candy)
~Place in rounded tablespoons on an un-greased cookie sheet, pressing down slightly.
~Bake @ 375 deg. for 8-10 minutes or until "delicately browned" (that phrase just sounds soooo delicious, doesn't it??)
YUMMY!! You will NOT REGRET MAKING THESE!!!
