Amy’s Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies

Add the following to a bowl and mix

1 stick butter

1 egg

1 C brown sugar (dark brown is best, it's chewier)

½ C sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

2 ¼ C flour

½ C shortening

½ bag chocolate chips

Roll into balls and bake @ 350 for 8-10 min.

If you want to use all butter and no shortening, just up the flour to 2-1/2 C. Butter has more water than shortening, so you have to compensate. (Thank you to Matt Williams for the tip :).)
