List of Ingredients
4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking soda (level)
2 teaspoon Salt (level)
1 cup Light Brown Sugar (packed)

1-1/2 cup Vegetable Shortening (Crisco)

Recipe
Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix
the flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. Use an electric
mixer to mix the two sugars and shortening. When creamy add the
vanilla, salt, and egg white. Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time adding a
tablespoon of warm water as necessary to mix the flour - don't exceed
4 tablespoons of water - this will make a firm dough. Mix in chocolate
chips. As the dough gets thicker you may want to mix by hand and
abandon the electric mixer. Roll into 2 inch balls and press down with
the palm of the hand to make flat. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until
golden brown.
