If you are ever suffering from a lack of chocolate in your diet, I strongly recommend these cookies-and believe me, I’ve been making these long enough to know what I’m talking about. The required dosage is up to you.

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Heat oven to 375.
Mix thoroughly in bowl:
1/3 c. soft shortening
1/3 c. butter
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Stir together in another bowl:
1 1/2 c. Gold Medal flour
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix these dry ingredients into the shortening mixture.
Thoroughly work in:
1/2 c. chopped walnuts (Walnuts are optional. You may double the amount of chocolate chips instead-it’s a perfectly good substitute!)
1 c. (6 oz. package) of chocolate chips
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned but still soft. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 4-5 dozen cookies.
If you can, try to save a few cookies for the other members of your family.
So would now be a good time for me to come over?
