Fabulous cookies. The powder went out on campus today for 2hrs... and it just so happens that it went out during my cooking class on campus. We were baking at the time for a big board meeting tomorrow and we didnt get to make our cookies because of the powder outage. I, being the wonderful student I am (HAHAHAHA) offered to make some cookies for the event because my professor was going to have to spend the entire day baking so many cookies herself... Here I Come to save the day!!! LOL Thanks :) Fabulous cookies ;)

awesome! they are crispy on the edges and chewy in the center. the extra bit of salt and vanilla gives them a better flavor and the shortening helps them from going flat in the oven. i creamed the butter and shortening with the sugars first and then added the eggs and vanilla (force of habit). mine were smaller than a tablespoon and they seemed to need about 8 minutes. great recipe...thanks L!
