Chocolate Chip Cookies Basic Recipe

Thanks to my daughter learning how to make these, my recipe card needs to be thrown away, so I guess it's time to put the recipe here...

1 C. Shortening
1 C. Sugar
1/2 C Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/4 C. Flour
1 tsp. Soda
1 tsp. Salt
12 oz. Chocolate Chips

Mix shortening, sugars and vanilla. And eggs and beat. (You can throw in some peanut butter here too if you like, maybe  1/4-1/3 C.) Combine soda, salt and flour. Mix in. Fold in chocolate chips (and coconut if you're my husband)

Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 375 about 10-11 min.
