Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and shortening until fluffy. Add sugars, sour cream and vanilla; blend well. Beat in eggs, one at a time; set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; mix well and add to butter mixture. Beat well. Stir in chocolate chips with a spoon.

Drop dough by generous 1/4 cupfuls onto ungreased baking sheets, 3 inches apart. Flatten dough to 2-1/2 inch circles. Bake at 350 degrees for about 14 minutes, until golden. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; finish cooling on wire racks.

Makes about 1-1/2 dozen.
