Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know most everyone has a good chocolate chip cookie recipe.
My family really likes this one.
These are a soft and chewy cookie, my favorite kind.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2/3 cup shortening

2/3 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

12 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix shortening, butter, and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl add dry ingredients, mix. Mix the dry ingredients with the wet just until combined. Do not over mix. Add chocolate chips. Drop by rounded teaspoon fulls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes just until set and edges just barely turn golden.
