Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies are one of the easiest and most liked desserts among children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged adults, and older adults. It is basically a foolproof dessert that is guaranteed to make everyone happy. Here is one of my favorite recipes to use. I generally bake for 9 minutes for a  chewy cookie but if your gang prefers theirs a little more crisp then just leave them in for a few more minutes. You can also vary this recipe by mixing several types of chocolate chips for a unique cookie.



Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/2 cups butter flavored crisco
2 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
4 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. vanilla
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3 12 oz bags chocolate chips (semi sweet or milk chocolate)


  • heat the oven to 375* and place cooling racks on the counter
  • combine the Crisco, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl and beat using a hand mixer at medium speed until blended.
  • beat the egg into the mixture
  • combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a small bowl. then mix into the creamed mixture until blended.
  • stir in the chocolate chips by hand
  • drop rounded tablespoons onto cookie sheets a couple inches apart
  • bake 8-10 minutes for chewy cookies, 11-13 minutes for crisp cookies
                                        DO NOT OVERBAKE
  • cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before placing on the cooling rack

*makes 7-8 dozen cookies depending on how big you choose to make them
