TOLL HOUSE COOKIES WITH CRISCO RECIPES

Steps:

• Set oven to 375°F.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease with vegetable oil or butter (no non-stick vegetable sprays!).
• In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
• In another bowl, using an electric mixer cream butter, Crisco shortening, both sugars and vanilla until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
• Add in eggs and beat on medium speed until blended (about 1 minute).
• Add in the flour mixture, and beat until blended (about 30 seconds).
• Add in chocolate chips, nuts and toffee bits; mix to combine.
• Drop the dough by tablespoons (equivalent to about 3 tablespoons).
• Bake the cookies centers are slightly puffed up (about 11-12 minutes).
• Remove the cookies from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Melt butter & crisco together and set aside. Line cookie sheets with aluminum foil or parchment paper and spray lightly with Pam.
• Blend flour, both sugars and salt together with hands making sure there are no clumps. Now to that, add melted butter/crisco, vanilla and eggs. Mix well and fold in chocolate chips. Drop by tablespoonful onto prepared cookie sheets and bake at 375 for approximately 10 minutes (but check them at 8 minutes) or until light brown.
• *Note: you can use 1/2 bag each of chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. **Note: you can also use 1 stick of butter crisco rather then the 1 stick butter & 1/2 cup crisco. I make these both ways.
• TIP: one of my many friends, Jane McMillan, here on JAP has shared this tip with me, which she is quoting Alton Brown. BUTTER makes cookies crispier and SHORTENING will make them softer.
