This recipe has become a cherished family favorite, and it all began in 1965 with my older brother’s 2nd grade teacher sharing it with our mother. Melt-in-your-mouth good! At holiday time, add festive sprinkles on top while chocolate is still soft. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 F (175 degrees C).
• Cream together the butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to sugar mixture and mix well, being careful not to over mix.
• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten each with the tines of a fork (dip fork into small bowl of water so that dough doesn’t stick to fork). Do this once or twice, depending on the size of cookie and fork.
• Bake for 13 to 15 minutes. After each pan is removed from oven, carefully place 5 or 6 chocolate chips on top of each cookie while they are still hot. When chocolate is glossy and soft, spread with knife.
