This recipe makes either 5 dozen normal sized cookies, or 12, 6-inch monster

sized cookies. Please follow directions appropriately to make the desired

size of cookie.

To prepare cookie sheets for baking, cover one or two cookie sheets with

foil and grease foil lightly. Now you are ready to make the dough.

In a large mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon or electric mixer to cream butter

and shortening together until well mixed. Add brown sugar and sugar, and

beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one.

Mix in vanilla. Using a wooden spoon, stir flour, baking soda, baking

powder and salt into creamed mixture, making sure all dry ingredients are

moistened evenly. Add chocolate chips and mix well. Wrap dough in plastic

wrap and chill for 3 hours to overnight.
