Classic Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingrediants

*Makes about 24 pieces

 

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, unsalted, room temp

4 tablespoons shortening (butter flavored) - I replaced with 4 tablespoons of butter

1/2 cup brown sugar, very firmly packed — mixture of light and dark

1/4 cup granulated sugar *I reduced on the sugar

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

3/8 teaspoon salt

1/2 tablespoon apple cider or white vinegar

1 ½ tablespoons lightly beaten egg

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup flour, all purpose or white whole wheat (4 ½ oz)**

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chips

Some toasted pecans (handful, optional) - I skipped this part

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Have ready an ungreased cookie sheet. Non-insulated cookie sheets work best.

Cream butter, shortening and both sugars until light and fluffy; Beat in vanilla, salt and vinegar, scrape sides of bowl and beat in egg. When egg is well mixed, add baking soda and beat so that it is well distributed; Stir in the flour, being careful not to over-beat. Stir in the chocolate chips and if using, the nuts.

Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 10-14 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for a couple of minutes then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
