GINNI’S CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES by Ginni W.

  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup shortening
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 packages (12 oz each) semi-sweet* chocolate chips ½ cup chopped nuts (if desired)Mix shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla together until creamy. Mix dry ingredients together. Add to shortening mixture. Stir until well mixed. Add chocolate chips and nuts (if desired). Drop spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes or until done. Makes about 2 dozen cookies. This recipe is based on a Betty Crocker recipe. I ALWAYS use Crisco shortening and REAL butter and vanilla extract. The flavor is just soooo much better that way! * For an added flavor twist, try plain or mint M&Ms, mint chocolate chips or butterscotch chocolate chips.
