• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-1/2 cups flour

Preparation

Step 1

In a mixing blow, cream shortening, butter and sugars. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Drop by tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. (They harden as they cool, so bake on the lighter side.)Cool 2-3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
