Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, cream Crisco, butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dought will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop dough by tablespoonfuls, or #40 cookie scoop, 2" apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly.

Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove to cooling rack.

Note: Line baking sheets with parchment paper and cookies are easier to remove and don't spead as much. You can reuse parchment until it becomes stiff.

Variation: Change vanilla to 2 tsp, add 1 tsp almond extract, one 12oz bag peanut butter chips, and one 12oz bag white chips.
