Awsome Chocolate Chip Cookies

by Cheryl Bruce

My daughter Cheryl came up with this recipe and gave it to me. This recipe makes approximately 200 small cookies or about 125 larger cookies. While I have managed to cut this recipe in half, however, each time I do I have regretted it. Sometimes you do not quite get the same taste or consistancy. At the very least, I end up with not enough cookies beause every one loves this cookie and cannot stop with just one.

Cream together until fluffy:
2 sticks butter brought to room temperature.
1 stick of solid butter flavored Crisco.
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar

Add the following a portion at a time mixing well.
4 large eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 Tbsp butter flavor

sift together the following and add small portions at a time to the base mixture, incorporating each addition well.
5 cups flour
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp baking soda

After mixing well fold in 2- 12oz packages of chips. The type of chips are up to you. Semi-sweet for a classic taste, peanutbutter and semi-sweet for reeses peanut butter cup taste, shocolate and mint chips, or carmel and chocolate chips. Even an additional 12 oz of nuts are acceptable in this cookie.

use a soup spoon to make these cookies. bake at 325 degree oven for 8 minutes for soft cookies (they will be barely light brown) - 10 minuets for crisp cookies. Be prepared for a rush of feet when the smell of these cookies are wafting through the halls!
