Preparation
Step 1
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix thoughly shortening, butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
**For a softer rounder cookie, add 1/2 cup flour--(I always do this)
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 mins or until light brown.....for soft cookies, be careful not to overbake. Tops may not be brown, look at the edges of the cookies.
Cool on pan for 3 or 4 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool.
