I was out of butter, but wanted to make some cookies and thought I would give this recipe a try. I'm really surprised that they turned out as well as they did. I love the chewy texture. They were incredibly simple to make. I didn't even use the mixture, just muscle. I'm not sure if my oven temp is off somehow, but I baked the first batch at 375 and the edges burned right away. I lowered the temp to 350 for the second batch and baked them for 12 mins and they came out perfect. I still prefer cookies made with butter. But, this will be my "go to" recipe when I'm out. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. -
I chose this recipe because my husband was in bad need of choc chip cookies and I was out of butter, this recipe calls for shortening instead. They turned out better than I expected, but my oven seemed to over baked them a bit, I would say 8-10 mins worked best for me. I creamed the shortening and sugars first then added all the other ingredients, I also added walnuts. Husband was happy! -
I've never made cookies where you mix everything all together in one bowl, so I did it my usual way.Using my Kitchen Aid I creamed the Crisco and sugar till fluffy,then added the eggs and vanilla, mixed that up and then added the flour and mixed up, then the choc. chips. I had miniature chips so only used 1 cup. I got 28 cookies using a 2" cookie scoop. They did spread quite a bit but they turned out delicious.I baked for 14 minutes. Turned out nice and crisp, just the way we like them. Thanks for your mom's recipe.

Before I joined Zaar, I could barely boil water properly. So, when someone compliments my cooking and asks me where I learned how to cook, I'm proud to say I learned from a cooking website and a few store-bought cookbooks.
I have a black and white cat named Allie who is a little over 2 years old. She was adopted from the Humane Society. I really feel like we "rescued" her because she was sick when we got her and the Humane Society, as well-meaning as they are, just didn't have the resources to take care of her properly and she surely would have been euthanized. She is very healthy and happy now. She has tons of toys to play with, gets plenty of food and treats, gets to go out in the backyard to catch bugs and eat them, and someone is home with her almost all the time to cater to her every whim and fancy, lol. I don't have any children, Allie Cat is my baby, lol.
I developed a serious, unrelenting crush on Colin Farrell after I saw him in a movie called "American Outlaws", and I have been in love with him ever since....... well, as much as you can "love" someone you've never met.
I love t.v. and movies (always have) and I'm a huge fan of pop culture. Two of my favorite shows about pop culture are "Best Week Ever" on VH1 and "The Soup" on E!.
Grease is my favorite movie of all time, followed in a close second by Forrest Gump.
I came across this site by accident, I don't recall what recipe I was looking for, but I know that I found it and a whole lot more!
