Everyone has their favorite, stand-by chocolate chip cookie recipe. I like chewy cookies, not crunchy and this is my new favorite recipe. Yes, it's shortening instead of butter, but it's so good and freezes really well and stays chewy after freezing/thawing.
1. Cream together:
1 cup shortening (I used butter flavored)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2. Add 3 extra large eggs and mix for 5-7 min (if you dont have XL eggs beat a 4th large egg in a separate bowl and add about half of it to the mix. and yes 5-7 minutes! just set a timer)
3. Add & mix in 1 TB hot water
4. Add & mix in:
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
5. Add & mix just until combined:
3 1/2 cups flour
chocolate chips
Bake in preheated 350 degreee oven for 10-11 minutes until barely browned on the edges. Don't overbake! They won't be chewy if you overbake them and the chewiness of these is what makes them so good!
