Chocolate Chip Cookie

I love to cook. My family has grown quite used to being experimented upon. Although there are quite a few recipes that will never be tried again, there are some that are family favourites. This is one of them!

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

1 cup shortening (I use a stick of butter flavoured Crisco)

2 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking soda

2 1/4 cups flour

1 cup mini chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Cream together shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla until creamy

Add flour, salt and baking soda

Stir in chopped nuts and chocolate chips

Using a cookie scoop, drop on ungreased cookie sheet

Bake at 350deg. for approximately 10 minutes - remove from oven when they start to brown

Enjoy!
