"This is a copycat recipe."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 3-4 dozen

ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (level)
• 2 teaspoons salt (level)
• 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups vegetable shortening (Crisco)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg white
• 2 tablespoons warm water (to 4)
• 12 ounces semisweet mini chocolate chips

directions

1. Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside.
2. Use an electric mixer to mix the two sugars and shortening. When creamy add the vanilla, salt, and egg white.
3. Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time adding a tablespoon of warm water as necessary to mix the flour -- don't exceed 4 tablespoons of water -- this will make a firm dough.
4. Mix in chocolate chips. As the dough gets thicker you may want to mix by hand and abandon the electric mixer.
5. Roll into 2-inch balls and press down with the palm of the hand to make flat. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

This cookie recipe is missing an important ingredient...it's not vanilla extract, but coconut that makes 'em taste like the real thing.

Nice tasting cookie. Did get a little hard like brewabel stated in review. Thanks for posting.

Cookies tasted very good. Did get very hard afterwards though. The mass amount of Crisco makes this a recipe that won't happen often either.
