Recipe - Allisons Supreme Chocolate Chip Cookies

One half cup Shortening
One half cup Butter Or Margarine;
Softened
Three fourths cup Brown Sugar
Three fourths cup White Sugar
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 tablespoon Kahlua Or Chocolate Liquer
2 cup AllPurpose Flour
2 cup Rolled Oats
2 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips;
*See Note
1 cup Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans;
Optional

1. Preheat oven to 375 °. Grease cookie sheets.

2. Cream together shortening, butter, sugars and eggs.

3. Add the rest of the ingredients (in order) and mix well.

4. Spoon a tablespoonful amount into hand, shape into a ball and place on
greased cookie sheet. Bake for 1012 minutes or until golden. Cool on rack
a few minutes before eating.

*Note I add less chips because I don't like a lot of chocolate chips. The
cookie dough tastes so good you don't need a lot of chips.

I always use butter because I think it makes a better cookie. I also use
butter flavor crisco instead of plain shortening. (These are comfort food
remember..no low fat lol). Sometimes if the dough feels a little sticky I
add extra flour (not too much) until it's easier to roll in your hands. I
bake them on the reverse side of the cookie sheets and it works very well
to make a nice chewy cookie. Don't let them overcook, as soon as the edges
start to look brown, even if the center isn't set, they will be fine once
they are cooled. Leave them on the cookie sheet for a minute or two and
then cool completely on wire racks. When I picked up this recipe the author
had written that these cookies stay soft for a long time. I don't know how
she ever figured that out because they have never lasted longer than two
days around here! Everyone who tastes them wants the recipe!
