Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Cookies are an easy treat to make for kids, grandkids and even husbands. I don’t think I have ever thrown out cookies in my house, but I have tossed cake or pie that was too big to finish. Sad, I know. Cookies just make you smile for some reason. They are not heavy or too sweet and you can choose to eat one or several to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Now I know in my house there are those that love soft cookies and those that love crispy cookies and some that don’t care. Here is a lovely recipe for a chewy chocolate chip cookie that I think everyone will agree on!

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup butter, softened

2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups cups milk chocolate chips

In a large mixing bowl mix together all of the above ingredients in the order they are given in the recipe. You will want to use an electric mixer and beat after each ingredient addition. Hand stir in the milk chocolate chips last until they are well blended into the dough mixture. Using a tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until done. Recipe makes 2 dozen cookies.

Wine Glass - Designs By Lolita

The glass we received is the “Her Wedding Party” Personalized Wine Glass and it’s absolutely beautiful! It has beautiful colors, places for the bridesmaids to write their names (with the included marker) and there are little gems around the wine glass too which add sparkle and pizazz to it. It is really something to see and the photos don’t do it any justice!
