How to Make Stephanie's Wicked Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Press out any lumps.
  4. Add the brown sugar mixture to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  5. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup at a time, mixing until just combined.
  7. After adding 2 cups of flour, check the dough consistency by touching it with a finger. If sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is no longer sticky.
  8. Stir in 3 cups chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  9. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto lightly greased baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let cool on wire racks before serving. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!
