Ingredients Needed To Make Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Butter Flavored Shortening– Causes cookies to bake up taller and be more tender.
Light brown sugar – Brown sugar is soft and fluffy and needs to be packed into the measuring cups for proper portioning. Always pack brown sugar when measuring, unless the recipe states otherwise.
Granulated Sugar– Helps cookies spread, adds a more crisp texture to cookies, and surface cracking due to crystallization, which can be desirable depending on the type of cookie.
Vanilla extract – To add that little extra something.
All purpose flour – When in doubt, always go with “all purpose” flour.
Salt – All baked goods taste better with a touch of salt.
Baking soda– Necessary item for perfect cake baking.
How To Make The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies To Date
- Cookie Prep – Always preheat the oven so it is piping-hot when the cookies go in. Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper ensures the cookies puff up (instead of spread) and also come off the baking sheet easily.
- Mix the Ingredients– In a stand mixture, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter flavored shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together. Add in vanilla and eggs until combined.
- Add in the Flour– Mix in flour until just combined.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips– using a silicone spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Portion with Hands- With clean, dry hands roll 2 inch balls of dough and place on parchment lined baking sheet 3 inches apart.
- Bake- Bake the cookies until you see cracks on top of the cookies.
Best Way To Store These Cookies:
These cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
Can You Freeze The Cookie Dough:
Yes, you can freeze this dough for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container but I would section the dough in the appropriate size for baking.
