Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am having issues with a recipe and am looking for some solutions. Twp problems are that they are a bit grainy and some seem to get this thin film "white" coating on top of them. I am not sure if it is a heat/mixing issue or a problem with the recipe i.e ratios it self.
White sugar- 112g
Brown Sugar- 112g
Flour- 195g
egg- 1
Vanilla- 1 tsp
Baking soda- 1/2 tsp
Baking powder- 1/2 tsp
Veg, Shortening- 112g
Semi sweet choco. chips- 150g
350 degrees for 10-12 min.
I would like to keep these ingredients as they are the closest to "Mrs. Fields" cookies I have found.

Switching to unsalted butter. But the only thing i can think is you are not creaming your butter and sugar long enough. It needs to be well aerate. A good sign other than visual is the sound. it should sound clean as if there is nothing coarse in the bowl. Or your not using room temp eggs, a key to get a good emulsification. Recipe looks pretty standard and sound.
