Our family has their favorites. One of them is the good old Chocolate Chip Cookie.

So gear up for the best Chocolate Chip Cookie that is sure to grip you palate!

Jimmy’s Cookies

1 cup sugar, 2 cups brown sugar – mix well.  Add 2 cups shortening, 2 tsp vanilla and mix well.  Add 4 eggs to mixture, mixing well.  Add 4 1/2 cups  flour, 2 tsp salt, 2 tsp baking soda and 2 tsp baking powder.  Again, mix well.

Add 2 packages (24 ounces) chocolate chips and as the saying goes – mix well.  Use an ice cream scoop to form cookies on cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes.  Do not over bake!
