Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies
Easy Peasy Peanut Butter Cookies
Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Crisco® Butter Shortening or 3/4 stick Crisco® Butter Shortening Sticks
1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 (6 oz.) package semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional)
Directions:
1.HEAT oven to 375ºF.
2.COMBINE shortening, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat in egg. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. (I mix these 3 ingredients in separate bowl completely) Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.
3.DROP by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. (I only use cooking stones for my cookies - they just taste so much better)
4.BAKE 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet on a cooling rack. Remove cookies to rack to cool completely.
(TIP* If nuts are omitted, add an additional 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips)
Peanut Butter Cookies:
1 Cup Peanut Butter
1 Cup Sugar
1 Egg
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375ºF.
2. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork.
3. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.
There you go - hope you enjoy them. And no, I did NOT leave out any ingredients on the Peanut Butter cookies - that is why I call them my "easy peasy" peanut butter cookies! :o)
Hope you are all having a wonderful and glorious Sunday afternoon. We got about 6 inches of snow yesterday and overnight - thankfully, nothing more in our area. :o) Well, back to being a slave over the oven, I go.
Love and kisses,
Trac~ :o)
