It's Marti's fault.
She is my sister and she taught me
how to make them.
I have made my girls memorize and perfect
the recipe starting at age 10.

It took years to perfect them.
Jeff calls them "Crisco Disks", yet he still eats them.
We make them every Sunday and invite any and all to join in the feast
starting at 7:00p.m.
Marti's Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
blend well then add:
1tsp. salt
1tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. water
blend well then add:
2 1/4 cups flour
add more flour until the dough is just past sticky and shiny.
Mix in 1 cup chocolate chips.
Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
Bake on parchment paper
(I use the medium Pampered Chef Cookie Scoop)
at 350oF for about 10 minutes.
We make these a lot too. Brian won't eat shortening so I use all butter. It's a delicious, but flatter cookie. I also like oatmeal in them pressed into a pan for bar cookies(when I'm feeling in a hurry, or lazy).
ReplyDeleteI use half shortening, half butter. My husband is addicted to them. He complained so much that I didn't make them enough, that I taught him how to make them, and now he makes his own when he feels I'm not forthcoming enough with them.
