Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies
Another chocolate chip cookie variation, and this one's a winner.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shortening
- 1-3/4 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Sift together the dry ingredients, and set aside.
- Cream together the shortening and the sugar.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and add the vanilla and sour cream.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.
- When mixed well, add the chocolate chips and pecans.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes.
Note: If you like your cookies more chewy than crispy, put a piece of ordinary bread in with your cookies in an airtight container. I usually divide my batch of cookies, making one-half chewy (with bread) and one-half crispy (no bread).
