(Toll House Recipe - Doubled)
2 cups shortening
1-1/2 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. water
2 tsp. soda
2 tsp. salt
4-1/2 flour
(2) 12 oz. bags of semi-sweet choc. chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
Blend shortening and both sugars.
Beat in eggs, vanilla and water.
Add soda, salt and flour.
Stir till mixed well.
Add 2 bags of chocolate chips and walnuts (opt).
Mix thoroughly. Drop teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
* My best results are to take cookies from the
oven when the tops are lightly browned. They tend
to brown up more after removing from oven.
* If baking 2 sheets in the oven at a time, rotate
them half-way through baking. Top tray to bottom,
and back side of tray turned around to be in front.
