Thin and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes mistakes are a good thing!  I was too busy talking to my boyfriend when I started making this recipe that I didn't realize it when I added too much shortening to the recipe. Little did I know that the cookies actually turned out well, a little thinner and chewier than I wanted them to be but they still tasted great and I ate about 5 cookies everyday until they were gone!  So this recipe turned out to be a good mistake.

Thin and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 3/4 Cups shortening
1/2 Cup brown sugar
3/4 Cup white sugar
2 Large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 Cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 Cups chocolate chips

1) Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
2) In a large bowl cream together shortening and both sugars until well mixed
3) Add eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined
4) Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until cookie dough forms
5) Stir in chocolate chips
6) Scoop tsp size balls onto prepared cookie sheet and bake for 10-12min or until cookie edges are nicely browned
7) Because the cookies are so thin, keep them on the pan until almost completely cooled then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely then enjoy!
