Chad's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies


A few years ago Chad discovered this recipe from my Better Homes and Gardens cook book. Even though one batch makes A LOT of cookies he felt like it wasn't quite enough so he began doubling the recipe so that we would have enough to share with the neighbors. Don't tell him I told you, but he gets really jealous over other people's chocolate chip cookies!

Here's what you will need:
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

Mix the shortening and butter for 30 seconds. Add the sugar, brown sugar, and baking soda. Beat until combined and add the eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour and chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake @ 375* for 8-10 min. Let cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
