Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

I have been making chocolate chip cookies for over 40 years now and they always came out great. But lately they have been greasy and flat. I tried this recipe and it’s delicious and the cookies come out perfect. From Sisters Café blog.

1 stick butter, softened (not melted) (Use butter not margarine)
½ cup shortening
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs (at room temperature)
2 ½ cups flour
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Nestle Toll House Morsels (Or Guittard milk chocolate chips)

Mix butter, shortening and sugars – do not over mix. (The key to this recipe is minimal mixing – try using a wooden spoon instead of a mixer) Add vanilla and eggs. Sift or whisk together dry ingredients and add them next. Mix until everything is combined. Add one package Toll House Morsels. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Take them out when they are barely brown. Do not over bake. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before removing them to a cooling rack. Serve warm out of the oven with a glass of cold milk…..YUM!
