Chocolate Chip Cookies

This has been my family's favorite chocolate chip cookies for the past 10 years. They are very moist and creamy.
Just finished my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I didn't have any shortening so I just double up on butter. Soo tasty.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup shortening ( or double up on butter if you want really soft cookies)
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips, I prefer to use Ghiradelli

Heat oven to 375. Mix sugars, butter, shortening, egg, and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake until light brown, 8-10 minutes. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen, but it just depends on your cookie size. These cookies spread out so don't be afraid to use small drops of dough on the cookie sheet. Cookie dough should be very sticky.
