Chocolate Chip Cookies…..
Pre-heat Oven to 350 Degrees
Two Thirds Cup Softened Butter
Two Thirds Cup Shortening (I prefer Crisco)
Two Eggs, beaten
One Cup Sugar
One Cup Brown Sugar
Place the above in your mixer and cream.
Three and one half cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Add the above to the creamed mixture one cup at a time and beat on low… (unless you want flour all over your kitchen!)
One teaspoon of vanilla
One cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Two cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Add all of these to your cookie mixture and beat slowly.
Refrigerate dough for about an hour.. then drop by teaspoons onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for eight to ten minutes depending on your oven temperature and if you like chewy cookies or crispy cookies.
Enjoy!
