Ingredients
- 1 c brown sugar
- 1 c white sugar
- 1 c shortening or butter
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt (reduce or eliminate if using salted butter)
- 2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 T vanilla
- ~4 c flour
- 1 1/2 c chocolate chips
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Mix all the ingredients except the flour and chocolate chips. Mix in the flour one cup at a time. Finally mix in the chocolate chips. We use a #50 scoop to scoop out dough and place on cookie sheets. If doing the full recipe, it helps to start one cookie sheet on a lower rack, then move it to an upper rack at 1/2 the time while adding a second cookie sheet of dough to the bottom rack. This way there is always two sheets of cookies baking at a time.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350°.
