Yeah, we are gonna go straight up chocolate chip cookies. No frills. No fuss. 100% delicious. These are an old friends' recipe that I have used for many years and have never found another recipe that exceeds this (IMO). They have a little chew, a little crunch around the edges, and that perfect hint of salt at the end. This recipe makes like 4 dozen cookies, so prepare yourself for a lot of them and for the fact that they will still only last like 20 minutes. 
For the Cookies:2/3 c unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 c vegetable shortening
1 c granulated sugar
1 c brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla *measure with your heart*
3 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips *or whatever chips you want; you do you, boo*
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine butter and shortening and both sugars into a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment and beat for a few minutes to cream together. The mixture will look a little fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating after each one. Add the vanilla and mix.
4. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet, scraping down the bowl occasionally, until fully incorporated.
5. Mix in the chocolate chips. *I just do this by hand so that the mixer doesn't destroy my chocolate*
6. With a small ice cream scoop (or just spoons) drop 12 cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving a little space for them to spread.
7. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown. If you want them softer, take them out sooner; if you want them crunchier, you can bake a little longer.
