My first time try baking cookies! I originally did not plan to make cookies until next week. However, when I got back last night, I was hell starving - I just had a bit of bread as lunch.. As such, I started making cookies in like 20 minutes. Believe it or not, this is actually super easy! I will make some oatmeal cookies and whatever cookies next time, cuz IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE!
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 - 2 1/3 cups flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 Cup shortening or 1 Cup (2 sticks) butter
- 1/2 - 3/4 Cup packed brown sugar (total sugar should equal 1.5 cups)
- 3/4 - 1 Cup white sugar (total sugar should equal 1.5 cups)
- 1 - 2 tsp. pure vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 - 3 Cups chocolate chips
- 1 Cup chopped walnuts (optional)
You need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix butter, sugar, vanilla extract in a big bowl. Then mix the flour, salt, baking soda in a small bowl. Spray the dry stuff into the big bowl, add an egg and mix well. Lastly, add chocolate chips and walnuts or raisin.Scoop a dough with the size of golf ball, place it on cookie pan. Make sure each "gold ball" is at least 1 inch apart as cookie will expand in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Check the cookie after 8 minutes. If it's still dough like, bake a couple more minutes. If you want crispy cookies, bake a little longer.Enjoy your homemade chocolate chip cookies!
