Chockfull-of-Chips Cookies

I've never been good at making cookies. I'd always read the back of the bag of chocolate chips, but the cookies would never turn out right. I finally found a recipe from "Williams-Sonoma: The Kid's Cookbook".





INGREDIENTs

1c. all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 stick butter

1/4 c. vegetable shortening

1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 c. granulated sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

1. Heat oven to 350F. In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well blended.



2. Combine butter, shortening, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and mix on medium speed until smooth. Add egg and continue to beat until well blended. Add flour mixture slowly. Using a rubber spatula, stir until mixed in. Pour in chips and stir untill completely blended.



3. Using a table spoon, drop the batter in small mounds onto a baking sheet, spacing about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake about 14 minutes, or until golden brown. Yum!
