Chocolate Chip Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 c. shortening
2/3 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt
12 oz. chocolate chips

Preparation

Mix shortening, butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla thoroughly.
Blend in flour, soda, salt and chocolate chips.
I sift all my dry ingredients before adding to creamed mixture; stir in chips last with spoon.
I also add an extra 1/2 cup flour for softer, rounder cookies.
I roll the dough into balls, the size of walnuts (almost) and place almost touching on the cookie sheet. Bake at 375\u00b0 for 8 minutes.
