    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together butter and shortening until well-combined.

  8. Preheat oven to 375, and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Drop dough by medium scoops (1.5 tablespoons) onto prepared cookie sheets.

  11. Remove from oven, and let cool on baking sheet.

Notes

  • All-purpose flour - It's important to properly measure the flour. To do so, either weigh the flour or sift/stir it to break it up. Then lightly spoon it into a measuring cup and level.
  • Kosher salt - Sea salt makes a good substitute. You can use table salt if you prefer. If using table salt, use 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Butter - I use salted butter in this recipe.
  • Vegetable shortening - I recommend using regular, not butter-flavored, shortening.
  • Brown sugar - Light or dark brown sugar will work. Dark brown sugar will give you more caramel flavor.
  • Vanilla extract - Feel free to use less vanilla extract if you prefer. You can cut the vanilla down to 1 teaspoon.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
