Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a stand mixer or a bowl with an electric hand mixer, mix the shortening, butter, granulated sugar and molasses until combined.
3/4 cup (143g) vegetable shortening, 1/4 cup (56g) salted butter, softened , 1 1/2 cups (345g) granulated sugar, 1 1/2 Tbsp molasses
Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs, vanilla extract and butter extract to the dough, mixing well.
2 eggs, 3 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp butter extract
Add the flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
2 3/4 cups (418g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
Add in the chocolate chunks and mix until evenly distributed.
1 1/2 cups (300g) semi sweet chocolate chunks
Using a heaping #24 scoop, portion out the dough and arrange on the prepared cookie sheet. The cookies will spread so allow room in between the cookies.
Bake at 350°F for 11-13 minutes or until they flatten and the edges are beginning to turn golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
