As for the ingredients:
- 1/2 a cup of softened butter
- 1/2 a cup of shortening
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 a cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 a teaspoon of salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 2 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups of semi sweet chocolate pieces
Put the butter and shortening in a bowl and mix with an electric mixer on medium to high for about 30 seconds. Then stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Beat until everything is combined. After that, add in eggs and vanilla. Mix as much as the flour in as you can with the mixer and then use a spoon or something else you prefer. Lastly, stir in the chocolate pieces. Grease a pan or use a cookie sheet and drop balls of the dough two inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes.
