Description

Okay, so I was out of butter. I know, OUT OF BUTTER. Who does that? Really?

The world didn’t implode, pigs didn’t fly and the cookies still came out great!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ½ cups Vegetable Shortening, Butter Flavored Is Fine Too
  • ¼ cups Margarine
  • 1 whole Egg (large)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2-¼ cups Flour, Measured Out With Spoon And Leveled Off
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Cream sugars, shortening and margarine. Add egg and vanilla, mix in well. Add flour, soda and salt and stir to combine. Stir in chocolate chips.

Lazy bum that I am, I have a 1 oz. ice cream scoop that I always use for cookies. It sure is handy to keep them perfectly-sized. But it makes gargantuan, calorie-laden balls of wonderfulness. Not that it’s a problem for me.

These baked perfectly in 19-20 minutes at 350F on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between. My husband likes them a little more crispy on the edges. They remind me of a perfect Doubletree-type cookie. Not that that’s a problem either. If you like them a touch more chewy, reduce that time to about 18 minutes if you are using the 1 oz. lazy bum scoop.

Once taking them from the oven, I leave them on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before removing them to cool on a sheet of foil.

If you don’t eat too much dough, it makes 24 of the 1-oz. cookies.

tried these chippers with shortening, just to see how it was and your right, the world of cookiedom did not come to an end, they were great! My mother and grandmother use to bake with shortening years ago when they did not have butter around and unable to get to the store. I readjusted their recipes to use butter rather than shortening – may have to go back to using shortening .
