AMAZING Chocolate Chip Cookies

In preparation for the tailgate we hosted last weekend, I had a bake shop going on Friday night. I made 4 dozen of these babies (doubled the recipe and I made them big). I always figure that if you're going to the trouble, you might as well have double the goodies to share.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 eggs
2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix together.

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 1/2 cups flour

Mix all ingredients together.

Add 16 oz. bag of chocolate chips and mix dough.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes (or if your oven is hot like mine, only 8 minutes).



Lotsa cookie dough. I only ate a few bites. :)



Scoop the cookie dough with an ice cream scoop for uniform cookies.



Cooling on my new racks.



Stack o' cookies. Yum.
