Chocolate Chip Cookies

By RJamoralin

If you want to have ready-to-bake cookies, you can drop teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet covered with wax paper or parchment paper and place in the freezer until the dough is firm. Then, place frozen cookie dough in a plastic bag and keep frozen until ready to bake. Drop oven temperature to 350 degrees when baking, and expect the cookies to take a little longer to bake than normal.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup butter flavor shortening
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, lightly packed
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 3/4 cups flour, unsifted
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups chocolate chips, semi-sweet

Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F and place baking rack in
middle of oven.
2 In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt;
set aside.
3 In a seperate bowl cream the margarine and butter
flavored shortening.
4 Add the sugars and beat until creamy.
5 Add the eggs to incorporate.
6 Add the corn syrup, water and vanilla extract, mix
well.
7 Gradually blend in the flour mixture to the creamed
mixture and mix well.
8 Stir in the chocolate chips; make sure they are
evenly distributed.
9 Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie
sheet, about 1 inch apart and bake until the cookies
are slightly underdone, between 10-12 minutes
(maybe longer, depending on your oven's
calibration).
10 The centers should be just set and a light golden
brown. They will continue to cook, from the heat in
the cookie sheet, after they are removed from the
oven.
11 Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. 12 Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute before
removing to cooling racks until they are completely
cooled. Enjoy!
