CJ Johnson, you may be right. This easy chocolate chip cookie recipe is super moist and full of creamy chocolate chips. A cookie lover's dream.

To make this moist chocolate chip cookie recipe you need to gather just a few ingredients. Here is your shopping list so we can get to baking: all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, butter-flavored shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, milk chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips.

These chewy cookies are so decadent you could serve them for dessert after dinner. Or just keep an airtight container of them on the counter for when that sweet snack urge hits.
