My Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

I got this recipe from a college professor….that was a long time ago!  This is an excellent recipe that my family loves.  If you want a softer rounder cookie..just add about 1/4 cup flour.

Ingredients

2/3 cups shortening

2/3 cups butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

2 packages (6 oz) chocolate chips

Mix shortening, butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla thoroughly.

Blend in remaining ingredients.

Bake for 10 minutes at 375 F
