Chocolate Chip Cookies


This recipe my mom has used ever since I was a kid. Whenever my friends would come over they would ask her to make them! They are amazing, soft and chewy. The perfect chocolate chip cookie. 

*This time I used mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and m&ms. But you can always use any type of your favorite chocolate chips. 

2/3 C. Shortening
2/3 C. Butter
1 C. Sugar
1 C. Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
2 tsp. Vanilla
3 C. Flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 Pkg. Chocolate chips*

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix shortening, butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Cream very well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop dough by teaspoonsfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Cool slightly before removing from cookies sheet.
