Calories 294kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2/3 cup butter flavored shortening (I use Crisco®)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packed cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
- In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter, shortening, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In another large bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking soda.
- Slowly add the flour mixture until it has all been incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into medium-size balls (roughly the size of a golf ball) and drop onto a buttered baking sheet.
- Bake until puffy and just lightly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and move cookies to a cooling rack.
- Continue with the remaining dough. Store in a re-sealable container or freeze for later.
