Chocolate Chip Cookies

Submitted by: Alesia Hanson

1/2 C Shortening
1/2 C margarine
2 C brown sugar
1/2 C granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 C whole wheat flour
1 3/4 C white flour
4 Tbsp instant hot chocolate powder
1 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
18 oz chocolate chips

Cream the shortening, margarine and sugars until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

I usually double the recipe and freeze a bunch of the cookies.
