Chocolate Chip cookies

My favorite!!! Here's the recipe as I make it, a little different than some but it's the way we like our cookies.

1/2 cup butter, softened (please oh please don't use margarine, you really need REAL butter)
1/2 cup butter flavored crisco
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pkg chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy; beat in egg and vanilla. In medium bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt; blend into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and centers are still soft. Do not overbake. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; cool completely on wire racks. Store in tightly covered container. (or if it's like our house, don't worry about storage, they'll be gone soon!)

  1. I LOVE these cookies when you make them; however, I made them a few days ago and they were just not the same...
    Apparently I need a day of tutoring.
