Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Name: Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 cups Shortening; 1/2 cups Butter Or Margarine; 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar; 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar; 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda; 2 whole Eggs; 1 teaspoon Vanilla; 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour; 2 cups Chocolate Chips; 1-1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts (optional)

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F and prepare a cookie sheet (I always use baking paper instead of buttering it).
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the shortening and the butter.
3
Add the sugar, brown sugar and the baking soda. Beat until combined.
4
Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
5
Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in the remaining flour and the chocolate chips and, if you're using them, the walnuts.
6
Now you can either use a teaspoon to drop the dough on a cookie sheet or put the dough in the fridge for a few minutes and then roll it into even balls and put them onto the cookie sheet. Either way, leave enough space between them so the cookies won't stick together as one giant cookie. If you don't make them too big, you can get between 90 and 100 cookies out of this recipe.
7
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Then hide them from everyone else so you can eat them all.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
