More yummy goodness ... picked up off a blog somewhere recently ... wish I could remember where. I have to get better at making notes I guess.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup shortening
3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
Oodles of chocolate chips
**Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cream together shortening, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Blend in flour, baking soda, and salt. I add a splash or two of milk at this point to get my dough to be a bit sticky---don't want it too dry, but it may be because of the dry area I live in---you might not need any. Mix in chocolate chips, roll in to balls, and bake for 10-12 minutes!
