Old Fashioned Chip Cookies
(Can be made
in various combinations to suit your taste)
Blend until smooth and thick:
1Cup soft
butter (2 Sticks)
2/3 cup
butter flavored shortening or soft coconut oil
1 ½ cups
granulated white sugar
1 ½ cups
brown sugar
2 eggs
Add and mix in:
2
Tablespoons water
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
Mix together and add to above ingredients
until just barely blended: (makes tender cookies)
4 ½ cups
all-purpose white flour
2 teaspoons
baking soda
2 teaspoons
salt
Add and mix
in: 1 12oz package of your favorite chips – chocolate,
mint, cherry, etc.
Note: My favorite is to add 1/3 cup of
cocoa (or more depending on your taste) to the flour mixture and mix until
cocoa is blended well. Then add 12 oz.
of vanilla flavored chips in place of chocolate chips.
Drop by spoonful to cookie sheet and
bake approximately 12 minutes or until cookies just barely start to turn brown
on edges. Let them cool for a few minutes and then transfer to cooling
rack. This is a large recipe and makes
several dozen depending on the size of cookie that you make. They freeze well
so you can have extra cookies on hand when the need arises or to take to
someone.
Enjoy!!!
Enjoy!!!
