Chocolate Chip Cookies

The chocolate chip cookie made its debut in the 1930's ( a little useless trivia for your day!), what people did before chocolate chip cookies I'll never know.  The only conclusion I can draw is that they lived very sad, meaningless lives.  All hail the chocolate chip cookie.  So here's a recipe so that you don't have to suffer like those before us have.

1/2 cup of shortening
1/2 cup of butter
1 cup of packed brown sugar
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 tsp of baking soda
2 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla
2 1/2 cups of flour
2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips

Cream together the butter and shortening.  Add sugars, baking soda and vanilla.  Then add the two eggs.  Stir in the flour until well combined.  Then stir in chocolate chips.  Bake at 375 for about ten minutes.
