These are the choco chip cookies I always make. The recipe is from Chris. Thanks Chris! They are great and I love that they use shortening, so you don't have to soften any butter.
1 C. butter flavor shortening (I use regular shortening)
1 C. brown sugar
1 C. white sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3 C. flour
1/2 pkg. chocolate chips
Cream shortening, sugars, eggs, vanilla until just mixed. Add salt, soda and flour. Do not overmix. Stir in Choco chips. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees just until top of cookie starts to crack. Good undercooked and gooey.
These are my favorite but here are a few personal notes. The dough is good, but not my favorite dough to eat raw (but the cooked cookies are my favorite). But don't get me wrong...it's still good dough to eat, just not my favorite. They are not as good if you freeze the dough and cook them up later, they are much better made from fresh dough.
