Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

We’ve been using this one for many years and I’m sure you will enjoy it too! I have plenty of memories growing up of mixing this up and baking them in the oven.

This is also a great recipe for just eating (which I do sometimes) and is also great to roll into compact balls and put in homemade ice cream.

Ingredients

• 3/4 Stick Butter Flavor Shortening
• 1 1/4 Cups firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons milk
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 Large egg
• 1 3/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 1 Teaspoon salt
• 3/4 Teaspoon baking soda
• 6-8 Ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional, use a variety of chips like milk, semi-sweet and bitter)

Preparation Instructions

• Combine shortening, vanilla, milk and egg together in bowl and lay aside.
• Combine sugar, flour, salt, and baking soda together.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until somewhat stiff.
• Drop small balls of dough onto prepared cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
• Bake at 350 until golden brown.
• Centers should bounce at the touch.

Remember, Good Food, Good Friends, and Good Conversation.

Enjoy!
