Hobnail cookies (chocolate chip cookies)

Ingredients:

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup shortening

1 egg beaten

1 – 1/2 cups sifted flour (I didn’t sift it because I don’t yet have a sifter BUT to be honest, I am not sure what sifting does…they tasted great!)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup chocolate chips (I like to use milk chocolate chips instead of the semi sweet. I just think they taste better that way)

1. Cream together the sugar & shortening, add beaten egg & vanilla.

2. Sift together the dry ingredients, stir them in a little bit at a time and beat well.

3. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.

4. Bake at 375 degrees Farenheit for 12 – 15 minutes. This recipe makes about 2 dozen, so feel free to double if you need to make more to share!

5. Enjoy the warm & gooey cookies fresh from the oven & let me know what you thought?
