This recipe originated with my husband's paternal grandmother Laura Cayemberg nee Laurent. Her son, Patrick W. Cayemberg, began making them and they are a Cayemberg family favorite!
Ingredients
1 c. oleo (or imperial margarine)
1 c. Crisco shortening
1-1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
6 c. flour
2 tsp baking soda, in a little hot water
1 (12 oz) bag chocolate chips
Combine the baking soda in a little hot water and set aside.
Cream together the oleo/margarine and shortening. Add both sugars; mix well. Add the eggs, vanilla and salt. Mix well. Add the baking soda/water mixture and mix.
Add the flour, a little at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the chocolate chips.
Bake on cookie sheets at 375 degrees (F) for 11 minutes (9 minutes on the middle rack and 2 minutes on the top rack). Remove from oven and cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
(So how are the cookies so perfectly round? I'm sure many of you can guess, but instead of dropping them by teaspoonfuls onto the baking stone or cookie sheet just roll them into balls between your hands!)
