List of Ingredients
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup Butter Flavor Crisco all-vegetable shortening or 3/4 Butter Flavor Crisco stick, melted and cooled until warm
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Recipe
Heat oven to 325F. Adjust oven racks to upper and lower-middle positions.
Whisk flour, salt and baking soda together in medium bowl; set aside.
Mix either by hand or with electric mixer, Butter Flavor Crisco and sugars until thoroughly blended. Beat in egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Add dry ingredients; mix on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips or chunks.
Roll scant 1/4 cup dough into ball. Holding ball in 2 hands, pull apart into 2 halves. Rotate halves 90 degrees and, with jagged surfaces facing up, join halves together again at the base to create one ball with a jagged surface. Place cookies on parchment lined sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake 15-18 minutes, until just starting to brown on top, shifting cookies from top rack to bottom half-way through baking time. Cool on baking sheets on racks for 20 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheets and cool completely on rack.
Makes 1 1/2 dozen 3-inch cookies
