Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Ingredients

Cooking Directions

Preheat the over to 375 degrees.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking power, baking soda and salt.

In a large bowl and using a fork, beat together the shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Gradually mix the flour mixture; stir in the chopped chocolate.

Using a 1 1/2-inch (3.5-cm) scoop or a rounded tablespoon, drop the dough 2 inches (5-cm) apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

Baking until golden at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes.

Let cool for about 2 minutes.

Using a spatula, transfer to a brown paper bag-lined surface or a wire rack to cool.
