I love baking and this chocolate chip cookie recipe has been in my family for years. I can remember my mom making it when I was a kid, and then I made it for my kids. Now my own kids make this recipe for themselves!
One day I came home and my oldest son was just pulling the last sheet of cookies out of the oven. The kitchen smelled delicious! I couldn’t wait to grab a cookie and an ice cold glass of milk.
You can imagine my disappointment when I looked at the cooling rack and not a single cookie had chocolate chips in them!
Apparently Cora told him she didn’t like chocolate chips and since Cora always gets what she wants from her big brothers he made a triple batch of “chipless” chocolate chip cookies!
I highly recommend using chocolate chips (or chunks) in these cookies, as they taste much better. 🙂
I love this recipe because it turns out every single time! You can’t mess it up, they always taste great!
Enjoy!
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Instructions
- Cream together shortening and both sugars.
- Add eggs, flour, salt, baking soda, and vanilla.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Then add milk chocolate chips, add as many as you like, I have used a whole bag before. Mix them in with spoon so you don’t break up the chips.

I’m gonna save my milk ration today for these! I LOVE chocolate chip cookies, and so do my kids.
I’ll start eating healthy tomorrow…

I use the butter flavored crisco too – I just do 1/2 cup of that and 1/2 cup of butter. The butter crisco really makes a difference doesn’t it? I may just have to make some today too!
