When my kids were little I baked chocolate chip cookies for them just like any good mother would do. But they always preferred Grandma's. I wondered, "What is so special about her cookies?" So I asked her for the recipe. This is what I got and have been making ever since.
2 1/4 Cups Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 Cup Shortening
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup White Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
2 Eggs
2 Cups Chocolate Chips
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside. In the mixing bowl of your mixer combine the shortening and sugars until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined. Put in chocolate chips and stir until mixed in.
Bake in a 350 degree oven 10 to 12 minutes.
Nope, nothing special there. Almost exactly the same recipe I was making. Now that I have grand kids I know what the secret is. GRANDMA! Go figure!
Tonight I had to bake some for the neighbor. He fell off a grain bin this afternoon and hurt his leg. Is there anything better to make you feel better than a batch of chocolate chip cookies?
