Chocolate Chip Cookies
INGREDIENTS
2 c butter or margarine, OR 1/2 c butter, 1/2 c margarine, and 1 c shortening
2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
1 1/2 c brown sugar
1 1/2 c white sugar
4 1/2 c flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 bag chocolate chips OR half a bag of chocolate and half a bag of butterscotch chips
Mix butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add flour, salt, cinnamon (if using) and baking soda (in that order), and mix until dough is even. Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed, but do not over-mix. Drop 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 8-11 minutes, until centers are just set and edges are lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cool. This makes 8-12 dozen, depending on size of cookie.
