Recipe type: American
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 5 dozen mini cookies
Ingredients
½ C butter at room temperature
½ C shortening
2 t vanilla
2 eggs
½ C brown sugar
1 C white sugar
2¼ C flour
½ t baking soda
¾ t salt
1½ C mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Using a paddle attachment on a stand mixer, mix the butter, shortening, vanilla, eggs, brown sugar, and white sugar together.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until combined. At this point, you may need to add a bit more flour if your dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl. (I sometimes need to add about ¼ C)
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop into balls that are half the size of a normal size cookie dough ball. I happened to have a melon baller and used that, which was perfect.
Bake for 7-8 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
