Chocolate Chippers

Directions

1. 1
   Cream sugars, shortening and margarine. Add egg and vanilla, mix in well. Add flour, soda and salt and stir to combine. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. 2
   Lazy bum that I am, I have a 1 oz. ice cream scoop that I always use for cookies. It sure is handy to keep them perfectly-sized. But it makes gargantuan, calorie-laden balls of wonderfulness. Not that it's a problem for me.
3. 3
   These baked perfectly in 19-20 minutes at 350F on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between. My husband likes them a little more crispy on the edges. They remind me of a perfect Doubletree-type cookie. Not that that's a problem either. If you like them a touch more chewy, reduce that time to about 18 minutes if you are using the 1 oz. lazy bum scoop.

   Once taking them from the oven, I leave them on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before removing them to cool on a sheet of foil.
5. 5
   If you don't eat too much dough, it makes 24 of the 1-oz. cookies.
