Momma's Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Hey everyone, this is a recipe for one of my favorite recipes. Ever since I can remember my mom has been making these cookies. They are SO easy to make and turn out absolutely delicious!

INGREDIENTS:
♦2/3 cup shortening

♦2/3 cup butter

♦1 cup sugar

♦1 cup brown sugar

♦2 eggs

♦2 tsp vanilla

♦1 tsp baking soda

♦3 cups all-purpose flour

♦1 bag chocolate chips 

♦This recipe is really versatile so you can use any kind of chips, I just made a batch where I used 1/2 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 bag of white chocolate chips, and 1/2 bag of macadamia nuts. I have also used butterscotch and peanut butter chips. Yum!

WHAT'S NEXT:

♦Mix together all ingredients except flour and chocolate chips

♦Blend in flour and chocolate chips

♦Use a 1 Tbs measuring spoon to scoop cookie dough about 1 inch apart onto a non-stick cookie sheet (if you do not have a non-stick sheet, lightly coat sheet with PAM cooking spray or equivalent)

♦Bake for 8-10 minutes (start at 8 minutes and go from there)

♦Let cool for about 10 minutes

♦Serve with a glass of cold milk and ENJOY!
