chocolate chip cookies

Because I keep forgetting the recipe my mom uses and then end up taking a recipe a trying to merge it with what I remember from my mom's.

This time I think I finally nailed her recipe and my cookies turned out the best they have in a while:

3/4 c sugar
3/4 c packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 c butter flavored crisco
1/3 c softened butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground flax seed (this is a new addition to her recipe. Trying to sneak in good for you things too!)
2 c flour
Chocolate chips, m&m's... whatever you decide

Oven preheated to 350 degrees

Bake 9 minutes

I had received a silicone baking mat for a gift and had been trying to use that on my air bake cookie sheet. I decided this time it was hindering the cookies from baking properly so I skipped it this time. Perfection!

mm.... cookies

  1. They were quite fabulous, indeed! The only problem is when I make cookies, I tend to lose all ability to eat properly. "Go through effort to actually make breakfast?... oo there's cookies!" So I do not make these very often or many other desserts for that reason! :)
