Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

This is an all time favorite that is classic and calls for butter and shortening. Definitely not healthy, but grandkids are sure to love them. Chocolate Chip Cookies have been around forever and there are so many variations for them now. Of course, Nestle Tollhouse is the most popular, but this is a version that is also sure to be a favorite in your home. Cookies are great for travel, picnics and care packages. Make a batch for college students to take back to the dorms and enjoy with roommates.

These can be made as cookies, but they can also be made as cookie bars. Feel free to add nuts of any kind and substitute semi sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. Place them in a sealed container to keep them soft and use wax paper between each layer so they don't stick together.
