Chocolate Chip Cookies

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° for 8 minutes.
