Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl , cream the vegetable shortening and the two sugars. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.

Step 4

Fold in the chocolate chips and the nuts. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours.

Drop cookie by teaspoonfuls onto shiny lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes and transfer to wire racks to cool. Take out of oven when lightly colored - they will darken after being taken off cookie sheet.
