Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 to 3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 12-ounce package chocolate chips
nuts (optional)
Cream shortening and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Add 2 1/2 cups flour, salt, and soda. Add additional flour (if needed) so dough is moist but not sticky. Mix in chips and nuts.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a parchment covered cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
White Chocolate & Craisin Cookies
Follow above recipe, but instead of chocolate chips add 1 12-ounce package white chocolate chips and about 1 1/2 cups of craisins. Add chopped pecans if desired.
