Recipe

Bake: 8-10 minutes per batch

Makes: 60 cookies

Oven: 375 degrees

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups cake flour

1 package semisweet chocolate chips (12-ounce)

(can add 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, coconut, etc if desired)

In large mixing bowl: beat the shortening and butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and baking soda. Beat mixture until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well combined. Add in the flour 1/2 cup at a time for easy mixing, use a wooden spoon. Stir in the chocolate chips and other desired yummies.

Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. (I also use the toothpick test for cookies. Insert wooden toothpick into center of cookie, if toothpick is clean, the cookies are done) Transfer cookies to a wire rack for cooling.

Easy to make and easy ingredients

and very easy to eat :)
