directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 - remember to adjust if your oven temp varies (I use 325).
  • Cream together sugars and shortening;.
  • blend in egg, vanilla and salt.
  • Add half of flour - mix baking soda in with remaining flour, gently stir in with chocolate chips.
  • Do not overmix, just enough to mix in flour.
  • Roll into balls, small enough to fit 12-15 on a greased baking sheet (personally, I use my pampered chef bar pan - no greasing needed!).
  • Squish down slightly, with fingers or fork.
  • Baking time also varies - set timer for 10-12 minutes, watch carefully. You will probably need another few minutes, trust your excellent baking judgement! If you like crisp cookies, let them brown - chewy, take them out while they're still puffy in the centre! Let sit on the pan until set, lift off to cool on counter or rack.
  • Cooled cookies or dough can be frozen in sealed freezer bags - just let thaw at room temperature.
