Easy Old-Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies
The best chocolate chip cookie recipe with shortening and self-rising flour! You will want to make these all the time. Each batch of cookies contains 6 to 8 cookies, and the total recipe yields around 60 the best cookies.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter 1 stick
- 1/2 cup Crisco Vegetable shortening
- 3/4 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 1/4 cup Self-rising flour
- 1 bag Semi-sweet chocolate chips I prefer Nestle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the butter, crisco, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
- Gradually beat in the self-rising flour. Since you are just using self-rising flour you don't have any dry ingredients to mix separately.
- Use a spoon to stir in the chocolate chips.
- Drop by tablespoon onto an ungreased baking sheet. You can also use a cookie scoop if you prefer. Depending on the size of the baking sheet you can normally cook 6 cookies at a time.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Cookies should still be light-colored on top and have brown crispy edges when you pull them out of the oven. They will be a little soft in the center when done.
- Move to a cooling rack and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe is a modified version of the original toll house recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we love it.
Don't forget you can also make this cookie dough ahead of time and roll it into a log to freeze. Just place the log into plastic wrap and then cover it with aluminum foil. When you want to make some from frozen cut off slices of the cookie dough and place them on your baking sheet while the oven preheats. Once the oven is heated you can pop in the baking sheet and in 9 minutes you will have fresh easy old-fashioned chocolate chip cookies.
