For this step you'll need:

• 1 cup (200g) Shortening
• 1/2 cup (105g) White Sugar
• 1/2 cup (90g) Brown Sugar
• Mixer (optional)

First, pre-heat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C). Then, blend the shortening and the 2 sugars together until creamy. Having a mixer is optional for this recipe as this cookie dough can be mixed by hand with a spatula.

For this step you'll need:

• 1 Egg

Add the egg and continuing mixing.

For this step you'll need:

• 2 cups (300g) Sifted All Purpose Flour
• Sifter

Grab your sifter and place it over your mixing bowl. Add your flour into it. Holding your sifter, gently tap the side of it and make it snow! :-)

For this step you'll need:

• 2 tsp Cream Of Tartar
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Add the Cream Of Tarter, Salt, Baking Soda and Vanilla on top of the flour.

For this step you'll need:

• Spatula
• Mixer (optional)

Before turning on the mixer to full blast, gently mix the ingredients with a spatula by hand before turning on your machine. This way, you won't get blasted with flour to the face! If you don't have a mixer, just keep mixing it by hand with your spatula. :-)

For this step you'll need:

• 1 cup (200g) Chocolate Chips

Add the Chocolate Chips in last and continuing mixing until the chips are spread out evenly through the dough.

For this step you'll need:

• Your Hands

Grab about 2 big tablespoons of your cookie dough and roll them into balls. (About a little bit bigger than a walnut are great sizes.)

For this step you'll need:

• 1/2 cup (105g) Sugar
• Medium Bowl

Pour your white sugar in a medium bowl and roll your cookie balls around in the sugar to completely coat them before putting them on your cookie sheets.

For this step you'll need:

• Cookie Sheet
• 1 Sheet Of Parchment Paper
• Your Oven :-)

Place a sheet of baking parchment paper on a cookie sheet and separate your cookie balls to be about 2" (5cm) apart. These cookies don't spread that much. I found that 12 fit comfortably on my 17" baking tray. Bake for 15 mins in your preheated oven 350˚F (175˚C).

For this step you'll need:

• Cooling Rack (optional)

If you have a cooling rack, place your cookies on the cooling rack and let them cool for a few minutes. Tinfoil on the counter top or a plate will work as well. :-)

For this step you'll need:

• Your Appetite :-)

After a few minutes, grab a tall glass a milk and a plate on your cookies and enjoy your hard work. :-)
