My mother got me hooked on Chocolate Chip Cookies. I have been a huge fan of them ever since and can quite happily sit down and eat my way through quite a few. Now you can buy some good Chocolate Chip Cookies but nothing beats making some yourself. This hub has one of the best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes.

INGREDIENTS

* 1/2 cup shortening * 1/2 cup butter, softened * 3/4 cup packed brown sugar * 3/4 cup white sugar * 2 eggs * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1 tablespoon coffee-flavored liqueur * 2 cups all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1 teaspoon salt * 2 cups rolled oats * 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips * 1 cup chopped walnuts

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. 2. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and coffee liqueur. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, and place them 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets. 3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before eating!
