Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2/3 cup butter

2/3 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

chips (chocolate, butterscotch, or white)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream together butter and shortening. Add sugars...mix well. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. Add chips to desired amount. Bake 8-10 minutes.

Notes:

I was first served these with butterscotch chips, and they were amazing. I'd say it's the shortening that makes them so good.

Suggestions include baking on parchment paper, and allowing to cool on cookie sheet while slightly gooey, to allow additional "firming;" gets just the right consistency for a gooey cookie.
