Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter (1 stick)*
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Shortening (Crisco Butter Flavor)*
- 1 cup Brown sugar, Light, Packed
- 1/2 cup Granulated (White) Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tsp Vanilla extract

Preparation
Step 1
COMBINE flour and baking powder in a small bowl and mix with a whisk. Set aside.
MELT butter/shortening in a microwave oven (use a microwave safe mixing bowl or a glass measuring cup) stopping and stirring every 15 seconds. Stop when the butter is more of a paste (usually about 45-60 seconds). Pour over granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat well. Add each egg separately beating until creamy.
ADD flour mixture (1/2 cup at a time) while beating.
REFRIGERATE for 1-3 hours in covered bowl. Pre-heat oven to 375°F 15 minutes prior to first batch. Drop onto a waxed paper lined, room-temperature, air-bake cookie sheet in large rounded tablespoonful size (or small ice-cream scooper).
BAKE 10-12 minutes checking every two minutes after 8 minutes for golden brown appearance. Remove sheet from oven and let stand 5 minutes before transferring to a cool/flat surface. Rinse and dry cookie sheet between batches. Makes about [5] dozen cookies.
