These cookies are so simple but yet sooo wonderful... they NEVER go flat! I was so sick of my cookies going flat and ugly on me and so I went on a quest to find the perfect cookie recipe...and I found it! I got the recipe out of the Betty Crocker Cook Book and then I tweaked it a bit and I think they are pretty darn good. So I thought I'd share the recipe with the great Bradshaw family...
INGREDIENTS/DIRECTIONS
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
In a bowl combine and then set aside:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
In another mixing bowl cream together:
1/2 c. butter (softened... DON'T melt)
1/2 butter flavored shortening
1 Tbsp water
3/4 c. white sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
Then beat in...
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
Then add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until well blended... it might seem a little dry.
Then add a bag of whatever type of chocolate chips you like... I'm a milk chocolate kinda girl.
Bake for 8 or 9 minutes... until they look done to you. And eat 'em up... people love these, they really do... and they look good too :)
Are these the cookies you brought to the family reunion this summer? If so, they were absolutely DELICIOUS and I am going to have to make some this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteWould regular shortening work? I have never even heard of butter flavored shortening. As you can see, I am not much of a baker.
ReplyDeleteDear Chocolate Chip Cookies,

Thanks Eliza!
