Ingredients

  • 1 cup shortening (I use butter flavor)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 TBS. water, warm
  • 3 cups flour, sifted
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 14 oz chocolate chips
  • 1 cup walnuts

Directions

  1. Dissolve baking soda in warm water. Cream shortening and sugars together. Add eggs and mix until well blended. Combine flour and salt, add to batter a little at a time. Stir soda water and vanilla in for moisture. Add chips and nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoon on a greased cookie sheet and and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

  2. In my oven 10 minutes is usually long enough, so check them. They are good when they are just barely golden on the edges
