Chocolate Chip Cookies

I tend to make the Classic Crunchy Chocolate Chip cookies from the King Arthur Cookie book; they also have a recipe online which is not either recipe from the book. I replace the butter with more shortening. Sometimes I cut down the recipe from the full 4 1/2 dozen to 3 dozen, thus:

Ingredients

• 2/3 c. shortening
• 2/3 c. brown sugar
• 1/3 c. white sugar
• 1 1/3 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. cider vinegar
• 2/3 of an egg
• 2/3 tsp. baking soda
• 1 1/3 c. flour
• 2 c. chocolate chips

Directions

Cream together all but the last four ingredients. Add egg. Add baking soda with flour. Add chocolate chips.

Bake 1 T. per cookie on a greased baking sheet at 350° for 12-14 minutes. Cool on a rack.
