Chocolate Chip Angel Cookies

This is the chocolate chip cookie recipe that I grew up on, and honestly, I haven't found one that comes close to being as good. I made a batch on Christmas Eve and they've now received Kevin's seal of approval too. I'm now officially ending my search for the best chocolate chip cookie and sticking to the original. Sometimes you just shouldn't mess with tradition.



















2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 oz. chocolate chips

Mix together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside. Beat together the butter, shortening and sugars. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Slowly mix in the flour mixture. Add chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Take them out of the oven before they look completely done and before they get brown. Cool on a wire rack.
