My New Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup shortening

2 sticks butter at room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 extra large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 cups of flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 bag of mini chocolate chips
1 bag of regular chocolate chips

Directions

1. Mix first 4 ingredients together.  Cream until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl sift together: flour, salt and baking soda.
4. Add a cup at the time to the mixture.  Then add chocolate chips.
5. Refrigerate until chilled, roll into balls and freeze.
6. Heat oven to 375 and bake for 10-12 minutes until they brown.

The great thing about putting them in the freezer is you can just bake what you want to eat right then.  That way you always have fresh baked cookies.
