The BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER:
1/2 C. shortening
1/2 C. (1 stick) butter or margarine - softened. (This is VERY important!: Do not soften butter or margarine too much, your cookies will totally flatten if butter is too soft)
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1C. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla extract
2 C. flour - sifted
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C. chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together shortning, butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Don't overmix. Add eggs and vanilla and mix just until incorporated. Mix in sifted flour, baking soda and salt a little at a time just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees until the center is no longer glossy. About 8-10 min. Don't over bake! When it hits 8 min, sit at the oven and watch because they go fast after that. Take them out if you even THINK the edges are getting brown. Enjoy!
