Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Crisco vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

  • Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly and achieve that golden-brown perfection.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine Crisco, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until the mixture is creamy and well-combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue mixing until everything is incorporated.

Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Be careful not to over-mix, as this could affect the texture of your cookies.

Step 4: Add the Chocolate Chips

  • Once your dough comes together, fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Be generous with the chocolate chips—this is the star of the show!

Step 5: Shape the Cookies

  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The cookies will spread a little as they bake, so give them room.

Step 6: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Don’t worry if they look a bit underdone when you take them out; they’ll firm up as they cool.

Step 7: Cool and Enjoy

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a glass of milk, or just savor them on their own!

Notes

This chocolate chip cookie recipe using crisco creates a wonderfully soft, chewy texture with just the right amount of crispness on the edges.
For thicker cookies, consider chilling the dough before baking. These cookies also stay fresh longer, making them perfect for sharing!
