36 Cookies
ingredients
- 3 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 2⁄3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2⁄3 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1⁄2 cup milk chocolate chips
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
- Whisk dry ingredients, set aside.
- Combine wet ingredients with a hand mixer on low.
- To cream, increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and the color lightens.
- Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible.
- (Over mixing developes the gluten, making a tough cookie).
- Now, stir in the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop (2 tbs per scoop) to measure and drop dough 2" apart onto an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake on center rack of oven 12-14 minutes, until lightly browned and edges are set.
- Remove from oven; leave cookies on baking sheet for 2 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- If you are reusing the warm baking sheet, reduce baking time slightly.

The best cookies in the world. I have made them twice now and they were so delicious. Although my Bf prefers the more cake-like kind, but I dont. These were just perfect. I will never make any other kind of choco chip cookie! -
Thank you bev for posting these great cookies!! They were simple yet delicious!! I did follow the recipe exactly. I made these to send overseas to my dh, yet I am having a hard time saving any to mail :). I will definatly be making these again soon!! I made 2 dozen regular size to send to my dh, and i made several "huge" ones for a friend to cheer her up. Thanks!! -
Great and utterly rich cookies! These are filled with chocolate and practically melt in your mouth... both wonderful qualities in a cookie! I only made half a batch. Didn't have any chips, so I used 1 bar Ghiradelli milk chocolate, 1/2 bar Ghiradelli dark chocolate and 3/4 bar Lindt Chocolate-Orange. These are definately going on the holiday rotation list- thanks! -
This recipe should be listed with controlled substances like narcotics! They are absolutely addictive and I have the proof. If you love chocolate you will enjoy these. When they are warm and fresh out of the oven, don't bother with dinner, just have lots of cold milk handy. There is NO better chocolate chip cookie!

Bev- made these bad boys as a part of a appetizer/dessert buffet I catered. Got rave reviews!!! These were one of the first things to go. The only thing I changed was to put 1 c. milk chocolate chips in and reduce the semi-sweet chips to 1 1/2 c. Thanks for a great recipe!

From what I hear these were excellent. I try to stay away from full-fat treats, but I brought three plates of them to a meeting of eight people, and all three plates disappeared with mutterings of "goddess" my way. :) They were, like most chocolate chip cookies, very simple to make. I used margarine in place of the butter. The CCC recipe I typically use calls for only butter (I usually sub. margarine), but the shortening add seemed to go over well. It seemed like A LOT of chocolate chips, but for most people that isn't a detractor. Using a cookie scoop, they turned out beautifully plump and round. I baked mine for about 11.5 minutes, and they were still somewhat chewy in texture. Very nice. Thanks so much! -

Excellent cookie. Love the texture, but missed the nuts. I substituted the milk chocolate with same amount of white chocolate with great results. The dough was a little hard to work with, but I was at my daughter's house and really didn't have the right stuff to work with. The taste was great. I took these to my Home Study Group tonight and they were a big hit. Thanks Bev for another great recipe.
