Time 23m

Yield 11 dozen tsp. sized cookies, 132 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups Crisco
1 cup white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cream the Crisco and sugars together. Add the soda, salt and vanilla to the creamed mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the flour and mix well. Add the chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop by rounded teaspoons (or tablespoons) on a ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes at 375 (just until set in the middle, but not done!). Let cool 2 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to a cooling rack.
**Add 1/2 cup baking cocoa for chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Try peanut butter chips or M&M's in place of the chocolate chips.
**IMPORTANT: Do not adjust the amount of eggs or shortening -- it will mess with how the cookie spreads. I have tried.
