The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever. Seriously.

When we lived in Utah, I always used the Better Homes & Gardens Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and it never failed me; but when we moved to Ohio everything changed. My cookies came out cakey and too tall. I tried everything and slowly my cookie making confidence disappeared. I avoided making chocolate chip cookies at all costs. And then my friend Jessica posted this recipe and changed my life. It's yummier than my Utah cookies ever were and they turn out perfectly every single time.

3/4 butter crisco (no substitutes)
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 T milk
1 T vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 c flour
1 t salt
3/4 t baking soda
1 package chocolate chips
HEAT oven to 375ºF.

COMBINE shortening, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended. Beat in egg. Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips.

DROP by rounded measuring tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet.

BAKE 6-8 minutes.

Eat. Love.
