The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS 1/3 cup butter softened 1/3 cup shortening (butter flavored makes these extra good!) 1/2 cup packed brown sugar  1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups your choice of chocolate chips (We like milk) 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375. 

Cream butter and shortening together until combined (about a minute). Add sugars and mix well. Add vanilla and egg. Mix again.

Add the flour, soda, and salt. Mix JUST until combined. It will look over-floured for a few seconds, but should come together fairly quickly.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop golf-ball size spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheet, and bake for 9-11 minutes They should be light-colored and puffed when they come out of the oven, but dry-looking (not shiny or wet). Let cool on the pan for about 2 minutes then transfer to cooling rack.

I LOVE hot chocolate chip cookies so much! I have quite a few recipes I like to use, and recently came across this one from https://everyday-reading.com! (I love her blog and instagram stories!)It makes the perfect cookie. I recently brought these to a party, and they were gone literally minutes after I set them down.
