What's the one word that comes to your mouth? Yummy! Yeah, That's what I thought. Chocolate Chip Cookies are easy to make and a favorite of both children and adults alike. Chocolate Chip Cookies are one of the most convenient treats to take to potlucks, family holidays, and to give as gifts. They do not need to be refrigerated and are easy to carry.

How about making your own brand of Chocolate Chip Cookies. With good packaging and marketing, this small business venture could turn to a mega type of business. Just be innovative and search on how to improve the quality of your product.

For starters, here is one home made recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

1 Cup Crisco (Vegetable Fat)
1/2 Cup Butter
1 1/4 Cup White Sugar
1 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
2 eggs
4 Cups Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

EQUIPMENT:

Mixer (a hand mixer will do fine, but we use a Kitchen Aid)
measuring spoons
3 cookie trays
spatula
measuring cups
cooling racks

1st PROCEDURE:

Beat together the following ingredients until sugars are blended well and mixture's consistency is light and fluffy. This is the secret to a mouth watering chocolate chip cookie.

1 Cup Crisco

1/2 Cup Butter

1 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar

1 1/4 Cup White Sugar

Half way through this step you will want to scrape the sides of the bowl. This will prevent any granules of sugar from not being mixed in.

2nd PROCEDURE:

Add the Eggs. Now once you are finished mixing these first ingredients and your mixture looks fluffy add the eggs and vanilla. Mix these in until well blended.

3rd PROCEDURE:

Mixing Dry Ingredients.

Combine in separate bowl:

4 Cups Flour

2 teaspoons Baking Soda

1 teaspoon Salt

Now mix this together very well.

Now slowly add the dry ingredients to your fluffy concoction in the mixer while mixing on low speed (you can do this too manually).

Once you have mixed your dry ingredients in your cookie dough it should look like a moist texture.

4th PROCEDURE:

Adding the Goodies.

Now it is time to add in:

2 Cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips

*If you are not using a Kitchen Aid mixer hand stir these goodies in.

Hint: Freezing your Chocolate Chips before mixing them into the dough will prevent them from smashing and turning your cookie dough brown.

5th PROCEDURE:

Shaping the Chocolate Chip Cookies. When shaping your cookies it helps to use a ice-cream scooper.

We suggest that you place a sheet of baking parchment on the pan, and putting the cookie dough on top of the parchment paper.

If you don't have parchment paper, just place the cookie dough directly on the baking pan. Do not grease the baking pan.

6th PROCEDURE:

You will want to bake your cookies for 13-15 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees.

After about 5 minutes of cooling on the cookie sheet remove them and place them on a cooling rack until they are no longer warm. Refrigerate if you prefer.

So there, you know have your own Chocolate Chip Cookies. Start selling to your friends and relatives and let the word of mouth do the marketing. Enjoy!
