The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

Forget about your diet! You have to try these! They will make you so happy! 

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever!

Cream together:

1 cup CRISCO shortening (Sometimes I use ½ cup shortening and ½ cup butter)

1 cup brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

Mix in:

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

Add:

2 ¼ cups white flour (you can use white wheat flour…it’s very good)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

Chocolate chips (as many as you like!) I used "chunks." You can add chopped nuts too!

Put spoonfuls on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until just barely starting to brown on the edges. They will look a bit underdone to the average person! Take out of oven and let them sit for a few minutes on the pan. (DO NOT over cook if you want them to be chewy and soft.) 

Pour a glass of milk and ENJOY!!!! YUM YUM!!!

Notes: 

1. One batch makes 2 dozen large cookies. Trust me, you'll want to make a double batch. 

2. These make fabulous M&M cookies too! You can add anything you like in these cookies! White chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, or dark chocolate and pecans...the possibilities are endless!
