C is for Cookie **recipe included**

Worlds Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Hands Down.

Well I like them and always get asked for the recipe when I take them somewhere. I like my cookies more chewy than cake-like and these fit the bill perfect.

Here's the long and short of them:
  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Cream until light and fluffy:
    • 1 C White Sugar
    • 1/2 C Brown Sugar
    • 2 Eggs
    • 1 Tsp Vanilla
    • 1 C Crisco
  • Sift together and then add slowly to above mixture:
    • 2 C All Purpose Flour
    • 1 Tsp Salt
    • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • Add Chocolate Chips!
  • Lightly spray an air bake pan with non-stick spray
  • Place a ping pong ball sized ball of dough on pan leaving about 2 inches around each ball
  • Bake for 11 minutes at 350 degrees. As oven temps vary greatly keep an eye on the first batch, when the edges of the cookie turn light brown they are ready to take out!
  • Make approx 4 - 4 1/2 dozen cookies! 
Now here's a picture tutorial!

Here's whatcha need:


Cream the first 5 ingredients:


Add the dry, sifted ingredients. I sift the dry ingredients onto a flexible cutting board so I can just dump them into the bowl slowly to avoid a flour cloud:


Scrape the bowl so everything gets mixed well:


Add chips. I use milk chocolate chips because that what I like, but you can use whatever:


I use a cookie dropper so my cookies come out approximately the same size:


Put on sprayed air bake pan about 2 inches apart:


Stop making cookies to check on kid. Oh good, you are playing in a pile of things that can suffocate you. Awesome. Put away things kid got out of pantry. Close pantry door. Some days I'm not qualified to be a mom, I swear.


Bake cookies for 11 minutes, give or take. I would rather have an underdone, soft, chewy cookie than a burnt, hard cookie so adjust to your liking. Let cookies cool a little before moving them to a paper towel covered wire cooling rack.


and VOILA! Bam! Best cookies ever! You're welcome!





And now to give credit where credit is due. I cannot lay claim to this fab recipe. It came from my mom's cookbook "The Garden of Eatin", a collaborative cookbook from the ladies at her church. The only name that comes to mind is Jensen? Maybe? I don't know, Ill find out. I have not actually looked at this recipe for YEARS, so this is how I remember it. The above written out recipe is straight from my head. Is it the exact recipe from the book? I don't know, but that's how I make 'em.

Let me know if you try them, Id love to know what you think!
