My Mom's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are two secrets to this recipe--1. Don't forget the nuts 2. Freeze whatever cookies you don't eat right away, otherwise they dry out quickly. Since this recipe freezes so well, double, triple, or quadruple the recipe.

Step 1: Cream the following ingredients--

1/2 cup shortening (Crisco please)

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

Step 2: Add the following ingredients--

1 cup flour

3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup broken walnuts

Drop dough onto a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
