Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups of chocolate chips (1 - 12 ounce package)

Set oven to 375 degrees

In a mixing bowl, mix your shortening and margarine.  Then add your sugars, eggs, vanilla, baking soda and 1/2 of the flour.  After you have mixed that well, add the rest of your flour, add your chips.
Drop a small ball of dough onto a greased cookie sheet or you can use parchment paper
Bake for about 8-10 minutes

M &M cookies

They are the same recipe as your chocolate chip cookies and substitute m&m's for the chocolate chips.

Peanut Butter cookies, or Hershey Kiss cookies

1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2cup of brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp/ baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1-1/4 flour

Set oven for 375 degrees.

Mix your butter with your peanut butter.  Then add everything else but the flour.  After you have everything mixed then, mix your flour and you are ready to put onto your cookie sheet.  You do not have to grease the pan, but you may use parchment paper if you want.

Form some dough into a small ball and put onto the cookie sheet.  Not too close together! You may use a fork and do a criss cross design on them or you may bake them as is and the put a hershey kiss on the top of the cookie when it comes out of the oven.  Either way, it will taste GREAT!!
Bake your cookies for 7-9 minutes and then check to see if they're done.
