Rob alerted me to the fact that I have not baked “in a while” (3 days 😉) and wondered if I could bake a treat. So after we took our nightly walk with Gracie, I whipped up some chocolate chip cookies. Being a little short on time, I used crisco as opposed to butter (I always like to chill my dough when I use butter to try and keep the puffiness in the cookies).

Remember to scoop your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. And, preheat your oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp.

• Ingredients list
• 1 cup crisco
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbs water
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. In a bowl, cream crisco, sugar, brown sugar,eggs, vanilla and water. Add dry ingredients. Fold in chips. Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough. Stagger cookies on cookies sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and cool completely. I stored mine in the fridge to firm them up.
