October- Cookies

Amber Hansen's "Should Be Famous" Chocolate Chip Cookies:

(copied and brought to the Recipe Exchange by Jenny Lynn)

Preheat oven to 375.

1 c. butter-flavored shortening (Crisco is best)
3/4 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. water
2 eggs
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. milk chocolate chips

1. Cream the first five ingredients.
2. Add the eggs & mix for a good 3 minutes.
3. Add the flour, baking soda & salt. Mix until well-blended.
4. Fold in chocolate chips.
5. Bake for 8 minutes in the oven. The cookies will still look not totally done, but I think that's the key to having it soft & chewy because if you think about it, they're STILL cooking even on the hot cookie sheet after you take it out of the oven. Make sense?
