The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe…Ever!

Hands down this is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve ever made. I have no problems with passing it on to you because it was a generous soul who passed it to me. I use the butter flavored sticks of Crisco - yes, I know! Just eat the cookies in moderation. My kids adore them!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of shortening
• 1 cup of white sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix the first 5 ingredients together until smooth. Combine the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and then add to the sugar mixture. Add the chocolate chips in last.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
