Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies (the BEST)

Toll House (Adapted)
Preheat oven: 350 degrees
Bake time: 10-14 minutes

To make a double batch (and why would you make a single, when you can make a double?)
Cream together:
  • 1 cup Crisco
  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks); softened to room temp.
  • 4 eggs
  • 1.5 cup sugar
  • 1.5 cup brown sugar
  • 4 tesp. vanilla
Add:
  • 1 tesp. baking soda
  • 1.5 tesp. salt
  • 4 cups flour (slowly)
Once mixed together, dough should be tacky, not stiff.
Stir in chocolate chips (aprox. 1 bag), nuts, toffee bits, etc at the end.

Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop dough balls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-14 minutes.
If you have extra dough, you can scoop it into balls, and place in the freezer in a zip-top bag. Then bake a few whenever you need a sweet fix. :)
