Calories: 257kcal
Equipment
- large cookie scoop
- baking sheets
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter salted
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup shortening Crisco
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups white whole wheat flour or all purpose white flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups mini semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the butter, almond butter, shortening, brown sugar and sugar. Beat until light and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs 1 at a time beating for 30 seconds after each egg. Add the vanilla extract and beat for 10 seconds.
- Add the flour ½ cup at a time and mix until just incorporated. Add the salt, baking soda and chocolate chips and mix until just incorporated.
- Scoop the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon balls. I love this large cookie scoop. Evenly space 6 on each baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. The cookies should be lightly browned and still soft in the middle.
- Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Enjoy!!
Notes
- Preheat the oven as soon as you start making the cookies. A sufficiently heated oven will cook the cookies evenly and in the time specified in the recipe.
- The cookie batter will blend together the best if all the ingredients are room temperature.
- Either crack the eggs in a small bowl or turn off your stand mixer (my KitchenAid mixer is the workhorse when I am baking) before adding them to the batter. You don't want any pieces of shell in the cookies.
- To be on the safe side, I bake 1 pan of cookies at a time. I also rotate it from front to bake to ensure all the cookies bake evenly.
- Check the cookies to see if they are done at 12 minutes. If you like a softer cookie, remove them from the oven when the middle is a little under baked.
