Double Chocolate Chip Cookies




The girls were hungry for cookie dough, and I just wasn't in the "Christmas Cookie" kind of mood quite yet...so we made these. They were really good. The "double" part of the title comes from two types of chocolate chips (NOT chocolate dough). The original recipe actually only called for 2 SIZES of chips (regular semi-sweet AND mini semi-sweet), but I changed it to be two different flavors of chips. I'm thinking "triple" would be good too, including white chocolate chips or peanut butter chips...This recipe was adapted from Crisco (but we added less chips AND the two different flavors...we go for the "less is more" approach when it comes to chocolate chips, m & m's etc. in cookies). These cookies are darker in color because of the generous amount of vanilla & brown sugar.

1 1/4 c brown sugar
3/4 c butter flavored Crisco
2 Tbl milk
1 Tbl vanilla extract
1 egg
1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c milk chocolate chips

Cream sugar with shortening, milk and vanilla. Add egg. Add flour, salt & soda. Stir in chips.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 375.
