Description

The title says it all! This recipe is from the Butter Crisco container, with a few changes that I’ve made to make the recipe even better! We think they are the absolute best–too good not to share!!

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Butter Crisco (or Other Butter/margarine)
  • 1-¼ cup Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Flavoring
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Chips

Preparation

Combine Crisco, sugar, milk, and vanilla. Add egg. Mix well.

In other bowl, combine flour, salt, and soda.

Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir till just mixed, then fold in chips.

With a medium size cookie scoop, (approximately 1/8 cup size) scoop onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE!

NOTE: I like to take these out at 8 minutes, and they will seem like they’re not quite done. But if you let them cool on your cookie sheets , they will harden. Then let them finish cooling on wax paper on your counter top.

To keep these tasting fresh, store in an airtight container in your freezer. (Another plus of storing them in your freezer is that you might be able to keep them in your kitchen for a little bit longer!)

They are delicious when warmed slightly in the microwave.

These are what I’ve been looking for! There are a few things that I think a chocolate chip cookie has to be…#1 a little on the salty side, #2 dense and heavy, #3 chewy and gooey inside. These cookies are all of those. I’ve been trying to find the right recipe for so long, and this is it! Thanks! (I also love it that there so easy, and they don’t require butter, which is so expensive.)

@bmayer, on your question regarding creaming these, I’ve done both…I usually make a double batch of these, so I can’t put it into my Kitchen Aid mixer. I mix it with a hand mixer or else a wooden spoon.
About the humidity thing…one thing I’ve done on occasion, especially when I’m baking these in the summer time and my kitchen is WARM, is mix the dough and then refrigerate it a few hours before baking, to firm it up.
Maybe that would work in FL as well?! Good luck!

My daughter made these (in NC) and they were WONDERFUL. I made them (in Fl) and they were “soggy/chewy, rather than crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. The humidity? do you cream your butter/sugar by hand or with an electric mixer?

These are wonderful. Getting ready to make another batch right now – thought I might try Heath toffee chips in this batch. Also going to make one with chocolate chips and walnuts. Yum!

I thought these were pretty yummy! I have been making the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies on this site for a while now and I needed a change. I loved the chewy nature of them! I used butter since I didn’t have crisco on hand so they flattened out quite a bit, but other than the look of the cookies, they were delish :).

These cookies are wonderful. I make chocolate chip cookies all the time with my kids. While I think mine are the best my daughter wanted to try something different. She chose this one and it did not disappoint. I think that that the extra vanilla and milk in this mixure makes it. She’s right do not overbake them. Some of my family like nuts so we divided the mixture and added pecans and my, my, my it was even better.

This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I’ve ever used! I baked them 9 min too, and they were really perfect. The hubby and kiddo loved them too, and unfortunately, so did my dog! She ate 5 when my back was turned.

We loved those. I made it exactly like the recipe listed. My husband said they were my best chocolate chip cookies yet I baked them 9 min.

These cookies really were incredible. They live up to the name of the recipe – they were the tastiest I have ever made!

I used regular margarine because that’s what I had, and I didn’t have any peanut butter chips.

They were still without a doubt the yummiest I have ever made. One of the rare recipes where the cookies are tastier than the cookie dough! Unfortunately I think I ate four of them right away when they came out of the oven! I should probably share!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing!
