Ingredients
3/4 c butter, shortened
1/4 c shortening
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/4 c all purpose-flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 c (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate morsels (nestle is best)
Preparation
Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugars, beating well after each addition. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt; add to butter mixture, mixing well. Stir in choc chips. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 9 to 11 minutes. Cool cookies slightly on baking sheets; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
