Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix sugars, softened margarine, shortening, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly incorporated.
- Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown around the edges.
- Cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of softened margarine. If you're out of shortening, you can substitute it with an equal amount of butter. For a fun twist, add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough or mix in nuts or dried fruit. Make sure to not overmix once you add the flour to keep your cookies tender. Also, remember that different ovens may vary in baking time.
Serving Suggestions
These chocolate chip cookies are perfect on their own, but you can also serve them with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. They make a delightful addition to any dessert platter, especially when paired with other desserts like Angel Cake Dessert or Best Cinnamon Rolls(So Yummy On A Saturday Morning!).
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, place the cookies in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes until warmed through, which helps restore their original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but keep in mind it may result in denser cookies. Start with a 50-50 blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flour to maintain a lighter texture.
What can I substitute for chocolate chips?
If you don’t have semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. Alternatively, you can chop up a chocolate bar or use white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
How can I tell when the cookies are done baking?
Look for the edges to be lightly golden and the centers to appear set but not overly browned. They will continue to firm up as they cool. For chewier cookies, you can take them out a minute earlier.
