Ingredients

  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup Crisco oil

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients and beat well.
  2. Stir in 24 ounces of chocolate chips.
  3. Add about 6 cups of all-purpose flour to the mixture.
  4. Spoon the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
  5. Bake at 375°F for 11 to 12 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For a softer cookie, reduce the baking time slightly and let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring. If you don’t have Crisco oil, vegetable or canola oil can be used as a substitute. For added texture, consider incorporating nuts or oats. Make sure to measure flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off.

Serving Suggestions

These cookies are perfect for sharing at gatherings or as an after-school snack. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of La Madeline Tomato Soup for a comforting treat. Consider serving them alongside a Mango-Strawberry Cooler for a refreshing contrast on warm days.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them fresh longer, you can freeze the cookies in a single layer and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature or briefly warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of sugar?

Yes, you can substitute brown sugar for part of the granulated sugar for a chewier texture and richer flavor. Just remember that it may alter the sweetness slightly, so adjust to your taste preference.

What should I do if my dough is too sticky?

If your cookie dough feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to add too much, or the cookies may become dry.

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Absolutely! Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend designed for baking. Make sure to check the blend's conversion ratio, as some may require additional adjustments to achieve the right texture.
