Preparation

Step 1

Oodles of chocolate chips...the more the merrier... use Ghiradelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips.

**Cream shortening and sugars.  Add in vanilla and eggs.  Cream thoroughly.  Add in flour, baking soda, and salt.  Combine and at this point, I add in about 2 Tbs. milk...just until the dough gets a bit gooey and sticks to the sides of the bowl.  Throw in those chocolate chips...eat a few...give some to your helper...and then add some raisins!  Ohhhh....all of you non-raisin lovers....they are like candy all warm and plump from the oven....we love them here...but you can ignore them if you choose.
