Ingredients

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons raw wheat germ
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

  • Cream shortening and sugars. Add eggs, water and vanilla, beating until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in dry ingredients, adding chocolate chips last.
  • Spread into a greased jelly roll pan and bake at 350 for approximately 20 minutes or a 9x13 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Do not overcook-the middle should be gooey.
  • Best served warm, with ice cream!
