Chocolate Chip Cookies
by Linda Robinson
serves: 60
  Makes approximately 5 dozen cookies. Great fresh or try eating them frozen....preferred method of eating by my son
Ingredients:
  1/2 cup   Blue Bonnet margarine-softened
  1/2 cup   crisco
  3/4 cup   brown sugar
  3/4 cup   granulated sugar
  2   eggs
  1 teaspoon   soda
  1 teaspoon   salt
  1 teaspoon   vanilla
  2 1/4 cup   flour
  2 cups   chocolate chips or M & M's
Directions:
  Mix margarine (I let it soften at room temperature), crisco, brown sugar, granulated sugar and eggs. When ingredients are creamed add vanilla, salt and soda. Gradually add flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Mix well and check consistency....dough should not be runny....add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is firm and holds its shape. Add chocolate chips or M & M's. Scoop dough on cookie sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for four minutes on the lower rack and approximately 3 1/2-4 minutes on the top rack until cookies are slightly brown. Remove from oven and let cookies set on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes. Put cookies on a brown paper bag (the kind you get from grocery stores). Store in an airtight container when cooled.
