If you are in the market for the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe EVER, here’s the recipe:
1 Cup Crisco shortening (original, not butter flavor)
3/4 Cup brown sugar
3/4 Cup white sugar
Mix until soft and fluffy.
Add:
1 Egg
1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix just until blended.
Dry ingredients:
2 and 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 and 1/2 tsp salt
Mix it up and add a bag of M&M’s or chocolate chips.
Bake for 10 minutes (or less) on 350 degrees. My oven is a standard oven, not convection, and this is what I do. This recipe is my own little creation. It started out as the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag. Over the years, I’ve added and changed a few things. It’s close to the bag, but not exactly the same.
Happy baking!
Stay warm, Pacific Northwest friends!
Here are a few linky parties I like to participate in.

I am so ready to be done with the rain too! I'm not sure where today's sunshine forecast went but I'm really wishing I could have seen it. Your cookies look amazing. I prefer crisco over butter in chocolate chip cookies any day. Now if only I had some in the cupboard and could make a batch…

Becca, Wanna trade places? We are in the midwest and had to wait until 8:30 pm to mow the yard. Finished when it was dark and could barely see but it's still 88 degree heat index.
I think I could deal with 50's and hot chocolate, a good book and a blanket. Especially after getting my electric bill.
And only half the pics show up. But the chocolate chips look really really good!
