Karen's Chocolate Chip Cookies

In the Kitchen Aid:

1 C margarine

1 C shortening that is not all veggie oils

Mix until smooth and pale yellow. Keep mixing as you add:

1 ½ C sugar

1 ½ C brown sugar

Keep mixing and add:

3 eggs, one at a time

2 lids full of vanilla

In a separate bowl mixed together:

4 ½ C Flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

Add the flour mixture slowly to the butter mixture. When it is blended, add 1/2 bag of chocolate chips, semi-sweet are always in mine, but you can use milk chocolate if you want. Bake at 375° until they are puffy and slightly brown on the edges. I have a convection oven which cooks 3 racks at once at 350° and boy are they perfect! Cool on a rack so the underside does not get soggy. Remember to eat responsibly.
