Shanna's famous chocolate chip cookie recipe

Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup shortening ( I use Crisco Butter Flavored)

1/2 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar (I use light brown sugar)

1 teas. vanilla

Add:

2 large eggs - beat well

Sift and Add: (I stir the dry ingredients together in a seperate bowl and then slowly add them to the wet ingredients)

2 1/2 cups flour

1 teas. soda

1 teas. salt (I only use 1/2 teas.)

After above ingredients are mixed together...

Stir In:

Chelsea and Cahleb come to visit

We had a wonderful week with Chelsea and Cahleb here in Texas. Spent time at the pool. Saw some sites around Houston. Ate lots of yummy food! Chelsea reminded us all of how much we LOVE rice krispy treats and Shanna's special chocolate chip cookies. Delish ;o)

I'll post some pics so you can see some of the fun we had.
