When I conjure up memories of my mom in the kitchen, I picture her baking cookies. Don’t get me wrong, she was a fabulous cook but cookies were her jam. She was always the first to volunteer to be the bringer of treats at work, school, bake sales, theatre cast parties, or cheerleading fundraisers. She could make any type of cookie but the backbone of her cookie repertoire was the iconic chocolate chip cookie, her chocolate chip cookies were absolute perfection. To me, the perfect chocolate chip cookie is mostly chewy, but has just a hint of a snap towards the edges. My mom instilled in me the love of baking (among many other homestead-y type things) so when I do bake it makes me feel closer to her.
The hubby was out of town for work the other day so it was just the munchkins and me at home. Being the week before Christmas I felt the hereditary urge to get baking with the kids so I cracked open Mom’s recipe box in search of the recipe. I love my mom’s recipe box, so many little index cards, most of them were handwritten by her. I laughed when I found the card with her chocolate chip cookie recipe to discover she had cut it from what I assume was a bag of chocolate chips and taped it to an index card. Hey, my mom was a busy lady and was incredibly resourceful.
So, her chocolate chip cookies weren’t some secret family recipe but they are super delicious and they bring back memories of the best times with my beloved mom.
Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies
You're going to love these cookies!
Ingredients
- 1 cup softened shortening (can use butter flavored for more flavor)
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 pkg (12 oz) chocolate chips (I like semi-sweet)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (totally optional, I don't usually add but if I did it would be walnuts)
Instructions
-
Beat shortening, sugars, vanilla, milk and eggs until light and fluffy.
-
In a separate bowl, mix flour with salt and baking soda; blend into shortening mixture.
-
Stir in chips and nuts (if you're using them).
-
Use 2 spoons to scoop batter and form into a ball. Drop 2 inches apart onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake at 375 degrees for 9 minutes, you should see a few scattered areas of golden brown on the tops of the cookies.
-
Remove from oven and let sit on the baking sheet for another minute or two.
-
Use a spatula to transfer to cooling rack. Once cooled, store in an air tight container on the counter and enjoy!
I hope you enjoy making these and that you share them with people you love.

dieses harter schlag gegen die parasiten
normalisiert die funktion des magendarmtraktes
vernichtet samtliche arten von helminthen
leitet aus dem korper die abfallprodukte der parasiten hervor.
Parasiten, die schreckliche komplikationen auslosen:
alle moglichen arten von invasionen in kurzester zeit
leitet aus dem korper die abfallprodukte der parasiten heraus
reinigung des organismus von toxinen
funktion des immunsystems, endokrinen systems, verdauungs-, nerven- und herzkreislaufsystems
vor erneuter ansteckung, bildet ein pathogenes mileau im organismus des menschen des weiteren verstarkt die abwehrkraft
parazitol sanft zu gunsten von den menschen — hart fur chip helminthen
„die meisten menschen ahnen das nicht einmal, dass der organismus des jeden zweiten mit parasiten befallen ist auch.
In 95 der falle lost die prasenz der helminthen keinerlei symptome taktlos, bis zu dem zeitpunkt, an diesem sie irreparable schaden den inneren organen zugefugt haben und die funktion aller systeme des organismus gestort haben.
Gegenwartig ist nur das mittel parazitol anders der lage, den organismus vollkomen vonseiten beliebigen parasiten zu befreien, von denen es uber 250 arten gibt. dieses erzeugt im menschlichen organismus ein mileau, das den vorgang des parasitierens an sich zerstort.
Die erfahrung meiner patienten bestatigt, dass parazitol das wirksamste und sicherste mittel fur die vernichtung und ausleitung aller arten der invasionen ist auch, einschlie?lich von eiern, das keine wiederansteckung zulasst.
Die positive wirkung wird doch 100 der falle erreicht.
