Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Corn Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Shortening such as crisco or dalda
- 1/2 cup Packed Sugar brown, dark
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Mix-ins
- 1 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended)
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking and enhances their flavor.
Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. If desired, roll the dough into balls (wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. If you prefer crispier cookies, bake for an additional 2-3 minutes at a slightly lower temperature (around 325°F).
Cool and Enjoy
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cookies! Look for chocolate chips with a high cacao percentage for richer flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough for optimal results: Chilling the dough allows the flavors to meld and prevents the cookies from spreading too thin during baking.
- Adjust baking time: Ovens vary, so keep an eye on your cookies and adjust baking time as needed. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
