CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - BETTY CROCKER'S 1969 RECIPE



Chocolate Chip Cookies - Betty Crocker's 1969 Recipe image

My mom has used this recipe for 40 years now and it is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever had. The cookie is crisp around the edges and yet chewy at the same time. I will occasionally omit the nuts due to food allergies for those I'm feeding. I get alot of people questioning how all my cookies are the same size, I'm old school and will still use a teaspoon or tablespoon and my fingers to slide the cookie dough off the spoon. No need for fancy ice cream scoops if you don't want to. :) This will surely become a favorite of yours once you give it a try....

Yield Makes about 42

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 12-ounce package semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Using electric mixer, beat both sugars, shortening and butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix until blended. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls onto heavy large baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to racks; cool 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks; cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good-quality chocolate chips. You can also use semi-sweet or dark chocolate. Buy chocolate that's at least 70% cocoa for a deeper flavor and richer flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. This will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature initially, then reduce the temperature. This will help the cookies get a crisp exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to set.
