Chocolate chip cookies are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. They are just the perfect treat to serve anytime or bring to any party because who doesn't love a classic chocolate chipper? And this recipe has become my favorite so I'm really excited to share it and just in time for the weekend. They are also really good with some ice cream just like our favorite LA treat - cookie ice cream sandwiches from Diddy Riese or Manhattan Beach Creamery.
| INGREDIENTS |
2 1/2 cups brown sugar firmly packed
1 1/2 cups butter flavor shortening
4 tablespoons 1% milk
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups Guittard milk chocolate chips
| DIRECTIONS |
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine brown sugar and butter flavor shortening in a large mixing bowl. Add milk, vanilla, and eggs. Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Combine flour, salt and soda; mix into creamed mixture. Fold in chocolate chips. Using a large cookie scoop drop dough onto greased jelly roll pans 4 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on size of cookies. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!
