Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies! I feel like that’s all I need to say! Everyone’s favorite cookie with a slight twist, this recipe is dairy-free! It uses shortening instead of butter but that does not sacrifice the taste. Loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, they are oh so good!

How To Make Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pre-heat the oven to 375 and line a sheet pan with parchment. The parchment really isn’t necessary but I just like the easy clean up! In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugars using a hand mixer.

Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined. Then add the dry ingredients and mix. Using a large spoon, stir in the chocolate chips.

Using a cookie scoop, measure out 12 heaping scoops and arrange on top of the parchment. Don’t try to fit more or they will bake into each other.

If you have two sheet pans, you can prepare and bake the two dozen at the same time.

Bake for 10 – 12 minutes and transfer to wire rack for cooling. Then measure out and bake the next dozen. Store in an airtight container.

Hope you enjoy!
