Description

“Aunt” Linda was more than reluctant to hand over this recipe. It took years of cajoling to convince her that it should be shared with us.

These cookies are crisp and crunchy with a little bit of chewiness! You can’t stop at just one!

Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Vegetable Shortening, Chilled
  • 1  Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Beat sugars and shortening together. Add egg and blend until incorporated.

Mix baking soda, flour and salt in a bowl. Add to sugar mixture and mix until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.

Place heaping tablespoons of dough on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Leave plenty of space between them, these cookies will spread to about 5-inch diameter.

Bake at 350ºF for 12–15 minutes until evenly golden on top.
