Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe comes by way of my mother in-law. I have tried other cookie recipes, but this is by far a favorite. The cookies come out so soft and yummy!

What she uses:
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
12 oz. semisweet choco chips

Cream first 5 till light. Sift dry ingredients. Stir well. Add chips. Take a regular spoon (like a cereal spoon) and scoop out dough. Roll into ball and place on a sprayed cookie sheet. Continue until all dough is rolled into separate 1 or 2 in. balls. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.

From our table to yours, bon appetite!
