Doctor Mc's Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 2 cups shortening
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 to 3 teaspoons vanilla
• 4 cups flour
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons soda
• 4 cups chocolate chips (One regular sized package)

Mix first four ingredients together. Beat until fluffy. Add salt, soda and then flour. When those are mixed thoroughly, add chocolate chips.

Drop on a greased cookie sheet by teaspoonful and bake in preheated 375 degree oven.

If you like cookies soft and chewy, bake for 6 to 8 minutes (depending on the size of the cookies)

If you like them cripsy, bake them for 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from cookie sheet and dry on a cooling rack. Store in an air tight container.

Watch out for these! It's hard to just eat one or two. My husband and boys will eat a whole batch of these in a day or two!
