Confession. These aren't my go-to chocolate chip cookies. That's these ones. But these are the ones I go to when I don't want cookies that need to chill for a day. And when I want cookies with LOTS of chocolate. And lots of nuts. And want them ASAP.
The shortening in this recipe adds a nice crumble to the edge of the cookie. And if you really don't like this much chocolate I guess you can reduce how much you add, but honestly, why would you? HOLY YUM.
Let's Get Started!
Ingredients:
1 c. (2 sticks) of salted butter, room temp
1/2 c. shortening (like Crisco)
2 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
2 eggs
4 1/4 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 c. (1 bag) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. (1/2 bag) of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. of chopped walnuts or pecans
Preheat oven to 375.
With mixer, blend together butter, shortening, brown sugar, milk until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla. Blend until fluffy.
Add 2 c. of flour, with baking soda and salt. Blend just until combined.
Add remaining 2 1/4 c. of flour and blend.
Add chocolate chips, nuts and blend.
Scoop dough balls (about the size of a ping pong ball) onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degress for 8-10 minutes.
