Basic Chocolate Chip Cookies


Today is such a miserable rainy day. A perfect day to bake cookies. I have 3 recipes, one for regular, one for soft n' cake like and one for thin n' crispy.

Basic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 375* F.

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat shortening, butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
