Chocolate Chip Cookies

From About.com

My mother sent me this excellent chocolate chip cookie recipe that yields about 100 cookies.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup crisco (shortening)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (it's important to put the vanilla in now.)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • 2 1/4 cups flour (for a less flat crisp cookie add 1/4 cup more flour)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped nuts
  • 1 large bag chocolate chips

Preparation:

Cream together shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer. Dissolve baking soda in hot water and mix alternately with 2 1/4 cups flour (for a less flat, crisp cookie add 1/4 cup more flour). Add remaining ingredients.

Drop by teaspoon on cookie sheet.
Bake 350 for 10 mins. Makes about 100 cookies
