Chocolate Chip Cookies

This recipe is probably one of the best Choco Chip recipes I have ever tried! It is actually Alisha's mom-in-laws recipe, but I love it! I've been craving cookies for the past 2 weeks, and finally made these tonight! Yum!

2 sticks margarine
1/2 c shortening
1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
1 Tbs vanilla
(a dollop of sour cream - this is my addition)
5 1/3 c flour*
2 pkgs choco chips (the best are Ghiradelli (sp?) chips, I use 1 pkg milk choco and 1 pkg white)

mix and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 min

*One tip that I heard once, which I think really makes a difference: after you mix in the flour, try to mix it as little as possible. This will help keep the dough from getting stiff.

That's it! Enjoy!
