A few days ago my stepdaughters texted me that they were making chocolate chip cookies. For some reason, that text inspired me to make some cookies on the spot. I was craving the cookie dough I think :). It was a rainy cold day and we had beef stew cooking in the crockpot so I figured, we need cookies too! Check out these delicious chocolate chip cookies that we made. There really isn’t anything special about them, just simple cookies.

We had fun!

Here is the recipe.

Supply List

2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tbsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 stick shortening or 1 cup soft butter
2 tbsp water
1 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chip cookies or more if you like more

Instructions : Step by Step

Mix both (brown and white) sugars, eggs, vanilla, water and shortening in mixer
Add flour, baking soda and salt
Mix all ingredients until smooth
Stir in chocolate chips
Drop large spoonfuls of mixture (creating balls) on ungreased cookie sheet
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375 or until toothpick pulls out clean. I like the cookies chewy so I only cook for about 8 minutes.
