Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat together the vegetable shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add the milk, vanilla and egg, in that order, and continue to mix until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Drop batter in rounded tablespoons (using a cookie scoop or a regular spoon) onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until light golden in color.
  • Remember that the cookies will continue to bake on the baking sheet for a few minutes after you remove them from the oven. They'll turn a golden brown color as they cool. For best results, allow cookies to cool completely on the cookie sheet.
