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!
