HURRY!
Use margarine.
Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup butter or margarine softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 large eggs
12 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts
Yield: 5 to 8 dozen drop cookies
Preheat oven to 375 F ( 190C ) In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. In another mixing bowl combine butter, sugars and vanilla. Beat at medium speed with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add flour mixture and beat at low speed until a soft dough forms. Stir in semi sweet chocolate chips and nuts. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls two inches apart onto a ungreased cookie sheet. Bake nine to eleven minutes until edges are golden. cool completely.
You can use butter instead of shortening. Don't use margarine, it has too much vegetable oil in it. Your cookies won't hold together properly while baking and will spread.
Butter, margerine, or cooking oil will work just fine.....
This recipe just calls for 2 sticks of butter:
