I am always in search of the perfect chocolate chip cookie. I currently have 4 or 5 recipes that I
really like - one has ground oatmeal, another a combination of white and dark chocolate chips with a touch of almond flavoring, another calls for toffee chips. Some have all butter, and others use a portion of shortening or margarine.
I just got my hands on a great recipe. It is my current favorite. I love my cookies to look like this (see above) - blobby, thick and soft instead of flat, thin and crisp.
This recipe is a definite must try! Do you have any great chocolate chip cookie recipes you'd like to share? I'm always looking to add to my collection. :)
Sozel Flake's Chocolate Chip Cookies1 c. butter
1 c. shortening
2 c. brown sugar
2 c. white sugar
4 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla
5 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
4 1/2 - 5 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate mixed together are the best)
Preheat oven to 375 - 400 degrees. Beat butter, shortening, and sugars together. Next add eggs and vanilla and mix. Then add flour and the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix well and add chips. Bake 8 minutes. Drop the pan onto the counter when you take it out so that the cookies fall. I always cook them at 400, but if you know your oven cooks hotter, then use 375. If I have cooked some cookies on a pan and I am using it again for more cookies, I will adjust the time to bake them for 7 min. 45 sec. or 7 min. 30 sec.
