Soft and cake-like Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hey Courtney, this ones for you! I will post some more desserts soon!

When I was in college my roommates and I loved Archway cookies. They were so soft and yummy. I found this recipe in a magazine years and ago and it is just like our Archway cookies. I love them!!

Do you people even know what Archway cookies are?

First cream some brown sugar and shortening:


Add the eggs and vanilla (note the little hole in my chickens egg):




Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Then alternate adding flour, then sour cream, mix a bit, add some more flour, then sour cream, mix a bit, etc.




Fold in some chocolate chips:





Make into cute balls:


Yummy cookies are done!

  1. Hey, are your chickens mad that you're eating their young? And I'm slightly sickened that one of the eggs came with a hole in it. Weird...

  2. It was weird, but it was still good, only the shell had the whole. The chickens are not very smart, they don't care about their eggs once they lay them! I miss you!
