To make these cookies, you’ll start by melting the butter and the shortening together in the microwave, until just melted.
Next, add in the sugar and eggs and beat well. Then mix in the rest of the dry ingredients. Finally add in the vanilla and beat until there are no lumps in the cookie batter.
Form the cookie dough into balls and place them on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will appear slightly under baked. This is a good thing. You do not want to over bake these cookies.
