Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
  • 34 cup light brown sugar
  • 34 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 14 cups white flour, sifted
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put Crisco, brown sugar and white sugar in a large bowl.
  • With a hand held or stand up mixer, combine until well blended.
  • Whisk the 2 eggs in a small bowl and add to the blended Crisco/sugar mixture and combine.
  • Add soda, salt and vanilla and mix again until blended.
  • Add 1 cup of the sifted flour and combine until fully incorporated.
  • Add 2nd cup of flour and fully mix to combine again.
  • Add the last 1/4 cup if the mixture still seems "wet.
  • ".
  • Pour in the chocolate chips.
  • DO NOT USE THE MIXER to incorporate the chocolate chips, do this by hand.
  • (Consider it an upper body workout).
  • This prevent the chocolate chips from being broken.
  • Drop by LARGE rounded tablespoon full onto a nonstick pan.
  • (I have 12 cookies/pan).
  • Flatten the large "blobs" of cookie dough slightly.
  • Bake for exactly 12-14 minutes.
  • Take the cookies out when the edges are slightly browned and the middles seem "underdone."
  • This step is important!
  • Let the cookies sit on the pan for another 10 minutes.
  • They will "deflate" and continue to cook to perfection.
  • Remove to wax paper or foil to finish cooling.
  • Continue this method until all of the dough is used.
