The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies With Crisco Recipe
Discover the ultimate chocolate chip cookies with Crisco recipe for soft and chewy treats every time you bake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Crisco® All-Vegetable Shortening
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream Crisco, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet using a cookie scoop or spoon.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure that your Crisco is at room temperature or slightly softened before incorporating it into the dough for the best results. This will help achieve a smooth, well-blended texture, producing perfectly tender cookies. If you want thicker cookies, chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will prevent them from spreading too much. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips—dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate—for a unique twist. You can add nuts, like walnuts or pecans, to introduce a delightful crunch. For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the richness of the chocolate. Enjoy your delicious cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage.
