Empress Glorianna's Chocolate Cookie

Lisa over at Stop and Smell the Chocolates is having a fall fruit festival. I am re-posting this for the chocolate friday.


This is a Double Chocolate cookie. It is Made with White and Semi Sweet Chocolate. I have found Cooking the Cookies at a Low temp produces a much Softer cookie( like the ones you get in the mall). These cookies are trans fat free, and lower in Saturated fats. Since we are in the Mars Theme Months, we gave it a Martian name. Name after one of our favorite Martian at Mars2112 in New York City. I know she will love this Cookie, after all she is the Empress of Mars. Every time we go to Mars2112 she tells us how she loves Earthling Chocolate, it's the best in the galaxy!

you will need:
1 cup of Buttered Flavored Solid Crisco Shortening ( I buy in the the 1cup bars)
1/2 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup (Packed) Light Brown Sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
3oz Nestle (toll house) premier White Morsels

2-1/2 cups of unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
8 oz Nestle (toll house) real semi sweet Chunk Morsels.

First melt the White chocolate in the microwave. 30 sec then stir, another 30 sec remove and stir til melted completely- set aside ( close to your work space)

Put Shortening and Sugar in mixer- blend until creamy about 3-5 minutes.
Add eggs- one at a time, blending well after each egg is added.
Add Vanilla -blend well
Add Melted White Chocolate, blend well

Sift dry ingredients together, Add to Shortening/egg mixture- 1/3 cup at a time blend on low speed of mixture for 10seconds, continue pattern til all flour mixture is used.
Fold in Chocolate chunks.

roll about 1 Tablespoon of dough in hand-place on cookies sheet lined with a Silicone mat 2 inches apart ( if you do not have a silicone cooking mat, ask for one for Mothers' day or buy yourself one, it is the best investment I ever made!)

Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 to 20 minutes til golden brown. cool 2 minute then move to wire rack
makes about 4 dozen cookies

Have some Lemon English Ice Tea with that!
