How to Make Awesome Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ¼ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional; if using nuts, reduce chocolate chips to 1 cup).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes for chewy cookies, or 11-13 minutes for crispier cookies. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
