From the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook: Our Best Basic Chocolate Chip Cookies Yield: about 60 cookies 1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 12 ounce package (2 cups) semisweet chocolate pieces 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts (filberts) (optional) 1. In a large mixing bowl beat the shortening and butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and baking soda. Beat mixture until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour. Stir in chocolate pieces and, if desired, nuts. 2. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree F oven 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool. Makes about 60 cookies.
