Mom's chocolate chip cookies

Careful who you make these for, you may get married
Warm, soft, and gooey. With a glass of milk, there are few things better in this life. When we didn't know where our kids were, we would just make these cookies. By the time they were in the oven 3 minutes, everyone was home, in the kitchen, waiting for them to be done. So many great memories of everyone gathered in the kitchen, laughing, eating cookies, fresh out of the oven. When I was in college, a girl in a nearby apartment made me a plate of these cookies with a note wishing me good luck on an upcoming test. She's been making me these cookies ever since.
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cups of butter flavored crisco
  • 1 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 Tbsp of whole milk
  • 1 Tbsp of vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cup of white flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
​
​    Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Directions
  1. Mix the crisco and brown sugar together in your mixer until it's mixed.
  2. Add the egg and mix.
  3. Add the liquids next (milk and vanilla) and mix.
  4. Then scrape the bowl with a spatula to get everything down off the wall.
  5. Add all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) minus the chocolate chips and mix for 30 seconds or so.
  6. Once everything is mixed together then you can add the chocolate chips and mix them into the goodness.
  7. Get a spoon and eat some cookie dough.
  8. Get a different spoon, and line your cookie sheet with little balls of cookie dough.
  9. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes.  
  10. Eat two cookies while warm with a glass of cold milk. Now, don't you feel better? If not, eat two more.

Picture
Go get a Bosch
When I was a kid my mom had one of these beasts that sat on the counter top. She would make all kinds of stuff with it.  As far as I know, she had the same mixer for 50 years. Few marriages last that long, let alone kitchen appliances. I mean, how many toasters have you had in your life, thirty?
When Sara and I got married, we were too poor to buy a Bosch, so we had to make do. When we moved to Japan, we could finally afford to buy one and it made all the difference. So, when you get married, register for one of these monsters so one of your family's rich friends can buy you one. Just make sure there's a prenup that spells out who gets it if things don't work out.
