This is one of those recipes passed down from my husband’s great grandmother. No chocolate cookie, in our opinion, compares. I thought I came into the marriage with the best chocolate chip cookie, but I have officially yielded my opinion. This is also the cookie we delivered on our random act of kindness tour.
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup butter flavor shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 Tbsp water
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 to 2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup chocolate chips (the recipe calls for 3/4 cup, but we like a full cup)
Slightly melt butter and shortening in microwave (I did mine about 18 seconds). Add sugar, water, eggs and vanilla. Mix until creamy. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients and mix it all together. Batter will be slightly creamy. Add chocolate chips and stir in by hand. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350. We cook them about 10 minutes. They don’t look 100% cooked at that point, but continue cooking and settle in when they get out of the oven.
I have baked and eaten many good cookies, but there is always room for one more great recipe. I can’t wait to give this a try.
If you try it out and find it fails to meet up to your other chocolate chip cookie recipe, I will definitely need to get my hands on yours.
These cookies look amazing. And I am loving the fact that you let your kiddos lick the beaters!!!
What would life be without licking the beaters? Thanks for your comments.
I am going to try out this recipe, will be getting ingredients tomorrow will let you know how they turn out. Thanks for sharing a family recipe with us
You’ll definitely have to let me know how they turn out.
