Oreo Chunk Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup shortening
11 tablespoons butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt (not kosher)
0.5 (14 ounce) package Oreo cookies (more or less to suit your taste)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350.
Cut oreos in four to six pieces with a sharp knife; set aside. Don't bash them, it doesn't work as well. You want somewhat sizable chunks. Try not to sample chunks.
Blend flour, salt and baking soda together in a bowl.
In another bowl, cream together butter, shortening and sugars.
Add eggs and vanilla.
Blend in flour mixture in thirds; do not overmix.
Fold in (by hand) chopped Oreos and the Oreo \"dust\" left from chopping them up.
Drop by rounded tablespoons and bake 8 minutes. Do NOT overbake these!
