How to Make Power Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine, 1 cup (2 sticks) Crisco, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 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.
- Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips (or other desired mix-ins).
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form golf ball-sized dough balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie to about ½-inch thickness.
- Bake for 8-16 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Larger cookies may take longer; start checking at 8 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
