Ingredients
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup vegetable shortening
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat the sugars, butter, and shortening until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
Chill the Dough
- For the best texture, cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This step helps prevent excessive spreading during baking.
Shape and Bake
- Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
Cool and Enjoy
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
