This is the best chocolate chip cookie ever and the best part is that you can eat all the dough you want without worrying about the eggs! Oh, and I guess the really great part is that Sammie can eat it if I get the right brand chocolate chips that are not made in a peanut factory. Right. That’s why I went searching for the recipe. The eating the cookie dough part is just a way huge side benefit.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup margarine or butter
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt (has to be non flavored to taste right)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the brown sugar, white sugar, margarine and shortening until light and fluffy. Stir in yogurt and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until incorporated, then mix in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoonful's 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. (we like to spread it out onto a pizza stone to make the cookie cake pictured for our recent birthday’s)
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges begin to brown. Cool for a minute on the cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely. (You bake it a bit longer as a big cookie, but not as long as you’d think. I didn’t time it I just took it out when it looked done.)
