Baby Apple Pies

The crust comes out nice and flakey. It tastes really good, but next time I will see if I can cut half the oil but substituting applesauce. I will also crumble the pieces of crust on top, instead of making little domes like I did in the pictures above.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Dairy Free Sinful Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup Vegetable Shortening
3/4 Cup Brown sugar
3/4 Cup White sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
2 eggs
8 oz semi sweet chocolate chips

1) Mix together flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
2) Beat together shortening, sugars, and vanilla.
3) Beat in eggs.
4) Slowly add flour and mix in chocolate chips with a spoon.
5) Bake at 375F for 10-14 minutes.
Note: Do not over bake. Pull out of the oven as soon as they start to change color. They will finish cooking as they cool off. I like to bake them on a piece of foil over a cookie sheet. Then I let them cool off on that foil on the counter before I plate them.
Yeild: about 32 cookies: if you dont eat all the dough first.
