• ¼ cup milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Method:

• Preheat oven to 163 º c /325 º F.
• Add the shortening, butter, sugar, egg and vanilla extract to a bowl. Cream together using an electric beater / mixer.  Mix till smooth.

• In a separate bowl add the flour, salt and baking soda and mix well with a whisk or fork.
• Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Fold in with a spatula till mixed well into a thick dough. (There should be no more dry flour visible).
• Add the chocolate chunks last and quickly fold in till evenly distributed. Do not over mix and cause the chunks to melt.
• Line your baking tray with parchment/ baking paper.
• Scoop up generous tablespoons of the dough. Use hands to roll into tight balls quickly.
• Place the balls on the baking paper, evenly spaced. Allow room for spreading while baking.
• Now pat each ball down into thick disks of equal diameter.
• Bake for 20 – 25 minutes (until the cookies are light brown and crispy).
• Bake in batches if needed.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely and store in airtight jars.
