Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies from Scratch

 

Alright you guys, Chocolate Chip Cookies are in my top five favorite desserts. I thought I would share my absolutely favorite recipe! I found this one on from In Katrina's Kitchen and it's the only one I will use now...so enjoy! It also helps that it's super easy for the cooking challenged like myself :)

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup shortening (the recipe suggests using butter flavored Crisco & I approve!)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 package of chocolate chips

 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and set aside

3. Beat shortening and sugars until creamy then add eggs and extract

4. Add dry ingredients and fold in chocolate chips

5. Place on a cookie sheet

6. Bake at 350 for 9 minutes

I decided to mix it up and use my Michigan cookie cutters to add some flair. I think they turned out so adorable! Have fun with it!

 

What holiday treats are you serving up this winter?
