Calories 230kcal
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup butter
- 2/3 cup butter flavored shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp real vanilla
- 3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 oz milk chocolate chips
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream butter, shortening, granulated sugar and brown sugar in mixer.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until well blended.
- Mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture.
- Stir in chips on low so that the chips don't get broken, or stir by hand.
- Make dough into balls or drop onto ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 375° F for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on type of cookie sheet. Remove from oven when cookies are still slightly gooey in the center. Place of cooling racks. Enjoy warm and with a glass of milk :)
Notes
- Using the blender on medium or high speed with chips in the dough may cause chips to break, use low speed or stir in by hand to avoid this problem
- Perfect chocolate chip cookies use real butter, margarine will change the texture of the cookie
- Freeze extra dough in shaped cookie balls so that fresh baked cookies are always a few minutes away
- Frozen dough only takes a minute or two longer to bake
- Remove from oven when cookies are still slightly gooey in the center
- Remove from oven just before the edges begin to brown for a super soft cookie - this skill takes practice, but it's worth it!
- Allow cookies to rest 5 to 10 minutes on the baking sheet and then move to cooking racks
- Enjoy cookies warm and with a glass of milk
