The two youngest and I were making our favorite chocolate chip cookies Sunday afternoon, and dad walked in. He was a big help in tasting and energizing our children for the rest of the afternoon. Just take a look at what a good example he is setting.
Then of course, he shared.
and had to keep things even.
and look what happened when I turned my back.
All is well, a little cookie dough never hurt anyone ;) Now back to the recipe....2 1/2 - 2 3/4 cups fresh ground white wheat flour
2 cups unbleached flour (or use all whole wheat flour, or all white flour)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
4 lg eggs, room temperature
2 tsp real vanilla, not that fake stuff
3 -4 cups chocolate chips or a mixture of chips
2 cups finely ground walnuts, a nut grinder is perfect for this
*Cream butter, shortening and sugars. Add eggs 1 at a time beating until fluffy. Add vanilla, soda and salt mix well. Add flour. Mix well. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Drop on to cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Bake at 375* for 9 - 11 minutes.
Let cookie cool 1 minute then remove immediately from cookie sheet. Makes 5-7 dozen depending on the size of your cookies and how much cookie dough your husband and munchkins eat ;)

These look great. I'm glad to see that this happens at someone else's house, too. My grandma usually didn't let us lick from raw dough as 'the raw egg might give you worms' :) Do you use Crisco? Have you ever tried coconut oil? I've heard that's good for you 'in the good way'. Have you ever made your own vanilla? Mine's in the cupboard strengthening up. Lisa
