The LAST Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe You'll Ever Need
Camille Farias
This is, in my extensive experience, the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've ever come across. It's the perfect blend of chewy and crispy, sweet and salty, and chocolately goodness. People always ask me for this recipe, and I don't give them the whole thing because I like being the only person who knows the secret which I stumbled upon in an act of sheer serendipity- I am now passing it on to you...
2 c brown sugar
1 c granulated sugar
1 c shortening The original recipe called for 2 c shortening and no butter
3/4 c butter I ran out of shortening once, substituted butter, and history was made
4 eggs
5 c flour
2 tsp soda
1-1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
4-1/2 oz each of milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Mix all ingredients in a bowl with hands (optional- I use my big honking wooden spoon for this) and compact dough together. Add chips and mix.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
