Description

Ingredients

• ½ C butter at room temperature
• ½ C shortening
• 2 t vanilla
• 2 eggs
• ½ C brown sugar
• 1 C white sugar
• 2¼ C flour
• ½ t baking soda
• ¾ t salt
• 1½ C mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Using a paddle attachment on a stand mixer, mix the butter, shortening, vanilla, eggs, brown sugar, and white sugar together.
• Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until combined. At this point, you may need to add a bit more flour if your dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl. (I sometimes need to add about ¼ C)
• Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Scoop into balls that are half the size of a normal size cookie dough ball. I happened to have a melon baller and used that, which was perfect.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
