Total Time 30 minutes mins
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 -1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips *I love using the mini ones because you get them better dispersed throughout the batter, but any would be fine
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and spray a 9 x 13 inch pan and set aside.
Combine butter, shortening, sugar and brown sugar with a mixer until smooth, 2-3 minutes.
Add in eggs and vanilla and beat for an additional 2 minutes.
Add in flour, baking soda and salt and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spread the dough into your prepared baking dish and bake for 15-17 minutes. *They might appear undercooked, but that's okay. It's how you'll get the gooey soft texture!
Allow to cool then cut into squares, serve, and enjoy!
