Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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!
