These thin and crispy chocolate chip cookies are delicious, crunchy and super easy to make. Serve them with a glass of milk and enjoy the best cookies you will ever bake. In a large mixing bowl, add white granulated sugar together with brown sugar, flavour shortening and butter.
Using an electric mixer, mix those ingredients until they are well combined, then add in one egg and mix it in. This is a very easy basic cookie recipe. Add vanilla extract and lightly stir it in, then add sifted flour, baking soda and a little bit of salt.
Mix it well and get the flour well combined until it looks like a dough. Once well combined, add in chcolate chips, you can use mini chcolate chips if you want to or add nuts to the batter.
Stir the chcolate chips in until all the chips are mixed in really well. You do not need to chill this dough. Once everything is combined, prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper, then using an ice cream scoop, scoop the cookie dough and place it in the baking tray.
Lightly press the cookie dough so that they are flat on the baking tray, because it is going to spread, but not too much. Bake these cookies in a 375-degree Fahrenheit oven for 7 minutes. When they are out of the oven, they will be beautiful, thin chocolate chip cookies.
Let them sit in the pan for about 2 minutes, then place them on a cooling rack to cool completely, and they will get crispy as they cool off. Serve them and store the excess in an airtight container.
