A cloudy day in paradise can be turned around with one batch of these bad boys. I have no idea where this recipe originated from, all I know is that I stole it from my sister and will never stray.

They are full of everything that is oh-so-bad.

But they are oh-so-goooood.

3/4 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 c. shortening

1/2 c. butter or margarine

1 + 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 egg

1 + 3/4 c. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 6 oz. pkg of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In bowl, beat brown sugar, sugar, margarine and shortening until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; beat well. Add flour, baking soda and salt; mix with hands. Mix in chocolate chips.

Form into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are slightly golden. Remove and let cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack for 10 minutes. Store in air-tight container to retain moisture.

They taste best if eaten in batches of six. =)

*Time and energy saving tip – have two pans going at once. While you are letting one batch of cookies cool, stick the other pan in the oven. Repeat!
