Many Chip Cookies
Chewy, flavorful cookies loaded with chocolate and butterscotch chips, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and sharing with friends and family during casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Using a mixer, whip the shortening, margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix by hand until just moistened.
- Scoop 1 1/2 packages each of vanilla, chocolate, and butterscotch chips onto a cookie tray.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 11 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using half butter and half shortening instead of all shortening. You can also substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for a different twist. If you're short on time, pre-made cookie dough can be used, but nothing beats the freshness of homemade. Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for chewier cookies.
Serving Suggestions
These Many Chip Cookies are great on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. Consider serving them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. For a fun twist, you could even serve them with Hot Chocolate(From Scratch) for a cozy treat. They make a perfect addition to any cookie platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to last longer, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes until soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chips in this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix and match different types of chips like white chocolate, peanut butter, or even crushed candy bars. Just keep the total amount of chips the same to ensure the texture remains consistent.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Alternatively, chilling the dough for 30 minutes can also help firm it up and make it easier to scoop.
How do I know when my cookies are done baking?
Cookies are usually done when they are lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center. They will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven, so it's best to take them out just before they're fully set.
