Cookies!

Well, I baked these today and folks liked them, so here’s the recipe from the Better Homes And Gardens New Cook Book, 10th Edition.

Thanks, Mom!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine or butter
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1 12-oz. Package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup of whatever else nuts or chips you want

Beat the shortening and margarine/butter in a mixing bowl. Add half the flour, the brown sugar, sugar, eggs, vanilla and baking soda. Beat thoroughly. Beat in the rest of the flour. Add in the chips and whatever else you want.

Drop dough on an ungreased baking sheet and put in a 375-degree oven for 8-10 minutes or however long it takes.

Enjoy!
