Cookies for Two!

Or one... It doesn't matter really!

If you know me I have the sweet tooth of all sweet teeth. I LOVE chocolate chip cookies.
I love anything sweet but cookies are my favorite.

Since i got married.. Well since I moved away to Ecuador/college I have wanted cookies so bad but hated that my recipe made 80 bazillion. So I have truly been on a quest to find the perfect recipe that will only make about 1 dozen cookies.

For the last 5 years I have cut, halved, forthed and searched for the perfect cookie, and have found not one stinkin one! So Tonight, I decided to make my own. Literally make up my own recipe!

I was so excited that it worked,
 I even took a picture!
















Like I said.. i'm pretty proud of this.

Here is my version of Cookies for Two!

4 T Shortening
4 T Salted Butter (softened...of course)
1/2 C Brown Sugar
 3 T White granulated sugar
1 Egg
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
1 1/4 C flour
1/2 t Baking Powder
1/2 t Baking Soda
1/4 t cornstarch
pinch of salt
1 C chocolate chips

Set oven to 375
Cut butter and either leave our or place in microwave on defrost for 10 seconds
Mix Shortening, butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla together.
Add 1 cup of flour and mix. Add the rest of flour until it gets to the right consistency. ( I don't think I used the full 1/4 cup)
Add BP, BS, Cornstarch and salt.
Then add chocolate chips. ( I say a cup but I have NO IDEA how much I used. If your like my sister you will put more chocolate than cookie, if you're like my mom you will only add 2 chips. Its all preference people!)
The put them in the fridge for a few minutes.

Then you do the whole spoon on sheet and bake type thing.
I baked it for ~10 minutes. I like mine to be ever so slightly brown but still gooey on the inside. The fridge step helps this happen

12 cookies... perfect!
