Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is my favorite choc chip cookie recipe by far!

1 c butter flavored shortening

1 c white sugar

1 c brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

3 c flour

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp hot water

1/2 tsp salt

2 c chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350

Cream shortening, sugars until smooth, add eggs and vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in water add to creamed mixture. Add salt and flour,stir in chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 min or until browned.

Hint- always do a test cookie, if cookie is too flat you may add up to another 1/2 c flour.
