Comforting Chocolate Chip Cookies As we enter the colder months, nothing warms your heart quite like a homemade chocolate chip cookie! This month, Thrive’s Director of Marketing, Samantha Bezar, shares her favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies!
Samantha: This is as close as I can get to my Great Grammy’s cookie recipe. She always used Crisco when she would bake cookies. Whenever it’s chilly outside, I like to bake these to warm me up. It’s also my favorite way to remember her and continue cherishing the memories I was able to make with her.
Ingredients
Recipe Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
Step 2 In a large bowl, cream together the butter flavored shortening, brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla .Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoonful’s onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Step 3 Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until light brown. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
