-
Prepare the Mix:
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
- Add the shortening to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the shortening into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Ensure thorough mixing for consistent cookie texture.
-
Storage:
- Transfer the prepared cookie mix into an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. This convenient storage option allows you to enjoy freshly baked cookies anytime without the hassle of preparation.

Baking Cookies:
- When the craving strikes, simply scoop out about 2 cups of the cookie mix into a separate bowl.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mix. Incorporate them into the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Optionally, you can add 1/2 cup of peanut butter for a nutty twist.
- For added variety, consider mixing in chocolate chips, mini M&M’s, or any other toppings of your choice to customize your cookies.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie for expansion.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown around the edges.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
