By Joanks

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup shortening, part butter or
• margarine
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp. soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts
• 1 pkg. (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate
• chips

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix shortening, sugars, egg, and vanilla thoroughly.
Stir dry ingredients together; blend in.
Mix in nuts and chocolate chips.
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool slightly before removing from baking sheet to wire rack to cool completely.



I normally double the recipe and use 1/2 cup margarine and1/2 and 1/3 cup shortening.
