How to Make Big Thick Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) Crisco and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a wooden spoon until smooth but with a few lumps remaining.
3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar; beat until well combined.
4. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 large egg white, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in 2 cups chocolate chips.
8. Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball for each cookie. Place on prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 ½ inches between each cookie.
9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
