NEXT RECIPE: SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES

SOFT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 cups all-vegetable Crisco (non-hydrogenated)
4 eggs
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pure vanilla
3/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, etc.)
2 cups chocolate chips

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.

Beat eggs until light in color. Add all ingredients except nuts and chips to bowl and mix only until combined (about 1 minute). Stir in nuts and chips.

Drop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes; remove from oven before they appear to be baked, just when the edges are slightly browned.

Cooks Note: It's important not to overbake, so keep an eye on them during the last few minutes and don't go by the timer because different size cookies bake in more or less time and your oven will affect results.

These cookies are great partially dipped in or drizzled with chocolate!

Substitution: Butter may be used to replace all or part of the Crisco, but this will cause the cookies to spread and be more crisp than soft.

Yield: About 40 large cookies

Beky (Ohio) says:

These tasted great but they spread so I ended up with a sheet cookie instead of individual ones.

Liz (British Columbia) says:

I have just baked these cookies, but there was no indication in the recipe as to when to add the Crisco..... I just mixed it with the eggs and dry ingredients, but I'm not sure it was the right way of doing it. Also, I made half the recipe and still got about 3 dozen cookies.

It literally says "add all ingredients"....

After reading the reviews, I cut the salt down to 1 teaspoon and it was just right! Great recipe! We will make this one again.

Ed. (United States) says:

I did the recipe with Crisco shortening, not oil. And 2 more cups of chips instead of nuts. They came out real, real well. For a few minutes, I had doubts if could eat them all before dinner. The recipe on the chocolate chips bag is now retired.

I am baking these cookies from scratch for my 4-H member contest!

This recipe is amazing, very delicious but a little oily. I think next time I'll use less Crisco and maybe some self rising flour so they are not too flat. They are definitely soft and chewy which is is a plus and a huge hit at my house!

The only thing i changed with this recipe is I used coconut oil instead of the all-veggie crisco. They turned out fantastic. love the cookies. Made over 50 medium size cookies with it.

Great cookies! They were yummy. The first tray was brown on the edges, but gooey in the middle. For the other trays, we left them in the oven until the whole cookie was brown. We tried melting extra chocolate chips for a drizzle. All of the cookies have come out of the oven and I do not think the chocolate has set yet...

Just made this recipe. I can say they are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had!

Fantastic recipe! I will be making these again for sure! I read the comments before I made it and took the advice of a little less Crisco (1 1/2 cups) and just 1 tsp. of salt. Makes a ton! :)

Jessica (Louisiana) says:

Just made these, but substituted self-rising flour for all-purpose. They were slightly salty, but still excellent. Used about half the dough & rolled the rest up to refrigerate.

Lilly (Arkansas) says:

These were amazing. My family just loves them and always asks for more. I don't use any of the nuts but they are still the best cookies ever!!! I also use self rising flour. It makes them more thick thanks!

Wanda (West Virginia) says:

Getting ready to try these. I think the recipe means solid Crisco - not oil. That would make a big difference in the texture (for those of you who used oil).
