Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 c butter flavored Crisco (we didn't have butter flavored so we did 1/2 c plain Crisco and 1/2 butter)
• 3/4 c brown sugar
• 3/4 c sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 1/4 c flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 c chocolate chips
• 1/2 c chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream shortening, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. 
3. Mix in the flour, salt, and baking soda.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
5. Drop by large tablespoonfuls on to ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-13 minutes.

**NOTE: you can refrigerate or freeze the cookie dough and use it at a later date. Roll into balls first, it is much more difficult to do once it's cold!
