entry by Rebecca Lainhart {mom's recipe~Vickie Winkle}
Cream the following:
2 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup shortening {I prefer butter flavored}
4 eggs
Sift together & add to above mixture:
4 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
Stir in:
2 tsp. vanilla
12 oz. chocolate chips
Nuts {optional-pecans are best}
Bake at 350 for about 11 minutes, until cookies are light golden bown. {I bake the cookies and then leave them on the cookie sheet to cool while the next sheet of cookies is in the oven. Not over baking them and cooling them on the cookie sheet makes the cookies even better! Also, sometimes I reduce the amopunt of flour by about 3/4 cup and then add 1 cup of oatmeal instead.}
