Recipe - Chocolate Chip Cookieshogbergs

2/3 cup Shortening; (Crisco)
2/3 cup Butter
1 cup Granulated sugar
1 cup Brown sugar; (packed)
2 Eggs
2 teaspoon Vanilla
3 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Soda
1 teaspoon Salt
1 C.chopped nuts; (I use
pecans)
2 pack (6 oz.each) semisweet
chocolate pieces

Heat oven to 375 F. Mix thoroughly the Crisco, butter, sugars, eggs and
vanilla. Blend in remaining ingredients. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls
2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until
LIGHT brown. Cool slightly before removing from baking sheet. Makes about 6
doz. cookies. The chewy texture is wonderful in these. I think the secret
is One half Crisco and
One half butter. These are so good! Recipe by Betty Crocker
