Brown Family Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe makes so much dough that I suggest you put them in ball shape on wax paper and freeze them. Once the dough has hardened, take the frozen dough balls and put them in a gallon zip lock bag and cook them whenever you want warm cookies! Adjust the baking time to 12 minutes if cooking frozen dough.

Cream Together:
1 cup shortening
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ½ cups brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

Mix together in a separate bowl:
4 ½ cups flour
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 ½ tsp salt

Slowly mix dry ingredients in with wet ingredients. There is a lot of flour so take your time! Mix in 1 12 oz bag chocolate chips or 2 cups chocolate chips.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
