Big Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies

By gmasusan

I like my cookies thick and chewy rather than thin and crispy. If you do too, then here's the recipe you should try.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Crisco
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened but still firm
• 1 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large whole egg
• 1 large egg white
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 10 ounces chocolate chips (about 1 3/4 cups) or 10 ounces semisweet chocolate chunks (about 1 3/4 cups)
• 10 ounces semisweet chocolate chunks (about 1 3/4 cups)

Directions:

Prep Time: 15 mins

3 Add sugars and beat until well blended.

4 Add egg, egg white and vanilla and beat until smooth.

5 Mix together flour, baking powder and salt and stir into butter mixture.
