Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love chocolate chips cookies. But, they have to be just right. I'll admit I'm a bit picky about my chocolate chip cookies. I've been using the Whole Powdered eggs in my very favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe for a few years without and difference at all.
I decided to try switching out the butter and shortening as well.
I was a bit nervous at first as the batter tasted great, but had a funky texture. I ended up being very pleasantly surprised. They didn't turn out exactly the same, but they were very good. In fact, they reminded me a lot of these cookies and seeing as how those were my favorite sweet snack growing up, I was very happy with the result.

Another plus? You can eat the batter b/c it is made with powdered eggs!

1/2 c. THRIVE Shortening Powder
