We are cookie people around here. We make cookies at least once a week. Although we change it up from time to time this is our favorite recipe. People love our cookies and assume it is some fancy, secret recipe. Not true. Just the standard Nestle Toll House recipe with a few little tweaks.
2 3/4 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. shortening
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 t. real vanilla extract (not the imitation kind)
2 eggs
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, shortening, sugars and vanilla in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat eggs and add one at a time, beating well after each. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chips.
Bake in preheated 375 oven for 9-11 minutes until golden brown.
