Canadian chocolate chip cookies

-
    I was looking for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that was listed by weight and used shortening. This one let both criteria so...why not? I baked these in batches of 6-8, and kept the rest in the fridge. I also pressed a bunch of dough into a six inch round pan. This was delicious with a little ice cream!!


    3/4 cup (175 mL) Shortening

    1 1/4 cups (300 mL) lightly-packed brown sugar

    1 egg

    2 tbsp (30 mL) milk

    1 tbsp (15 mL) vanilla extract

    1 3/4 cups (425 mL) All Purpose Flour

    1 tsp (5 mL) salt

    3/4 tsp (3 mL) baking soda

    1 1/2 cup (250 mL) semi-sweet chocolate chips




    Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC).

    Cream shortening and brown sugar in large bowl at medium speed of electric mixer for 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy.

    Add egg, milk and vanilla, beating for 1 minute, or until thoroughly blended.

    Combine flour, salt and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture gradually, beating on low speed for 1 minute, or just until blended.

    Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips and pecans.

    Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls (2 tbsp/30 mL) on ungreased baking sheet leaving about 3 inches (7 cm) between cookies.


    Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes for soft cookies (cookies will still appear moist when baked – DO NOT OVER BAKE) or 11 to 13 minutes for crunchy cookies. Cool in pan for 2 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.

    This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!

To use: Pour water into the tank which is closed by a screw cap. No additives are needed as the steam will do the cleaning. To warm the water, simply plug in the unit. While warming, you must prepare your floors by vacuuming or sweeping. The green light will come on when the water is hot enough to start yo...
