AMAZING CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

This weekend I decided I had a craving for some chocolate chip cookies. So I was flipping threw some cook books and a finally found some. They are called Chockfull-of- Chips Cookies. If you would like to make one all you need is:

  1 cup all purpose flour
  1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  1/4  teaspoon salt
  1/4 cup butter, room temperature
  1/4 cup vegetable shortening
  1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  1/2 cup granulated sugar
  1 egg
  3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

 So, you start out by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Next line two baking sheets with aluminum foil. Then, combine the flour,salt,and baking powder. Stir the ingredients with a fork until well blended. In a larger bowl, combine butter, shortening, granulated and brown sugar. Blend with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.  Add the egg and vanilla and continue mixing. Add the flour mixture after it is well blended. Now use the rubber spatula to stir until it is mixed. Pour in the chocolate chips and make sure everything is blended well. Scoop cookies on covered baking sheets about 1-2 inches apart. Only put one baking sheet at a time and bake each for 12-14 minutes. Cool for ten minutes. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This recipe makes 36 cookies.
