Today at work, my friend Jerry if I brought in any cookies. Sadly, I had not. I am making up for it by bringing in these tomorrow. Rob and I call them the “Franks” because they are our friend Franks favorite cookies. Simply, they are a chocolate chip cookie with semisweet, milk chocolate and white chocolate chips. I added some instant vanilla pudding mix because it sweetened them up a bit. I forgot to take out butter to soften, so I used Crisco.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the correct amount. (If you directly pour, you pack in the flour and don’t get a correct measurement. That can lead to dry cookies). Also preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. That way it cycles to the right temp.

• Ingredients
• 1 cup Crisco
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbs vanilla
• 1 – 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbs cornstarch
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes. In a bowl, cream Crisco and brown sugar. Blend in vanilla, eggs and pudding mix. Fold in dry ingredients. Blend in chips. At this point, it may be easier to use your hands to mix it together like meatballs. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. On a sheet lined with nonstick baking liners, stagger cookies. Bake 12 minutes. There will be some light golden patches on top. Cool completely. Store in covered container.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I wish you peace, love and joy. And remember to be kind. We are all fighting some battle.
