The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

These chocolate chip cookies are amazing - try them, you'll agree!

1/2 c. butter or margarine, softened
1/2 c. shortening
3/4 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 t. vanilla
2 c. all-purpose flour
(I needed an extra 1/2 cup of flour due to elevation)
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
12 oz. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped pecans

Cream together butter and shortening, then gradually add sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Beat well. Combine flour, soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture, beating well. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans. Bake at 350* for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. This recipe is supposed to make 2 1/2 dozen cookies, but I don't think we got that many out of it. It's hard to tell since they kept disappearing before they were all baked ;) If you want these to last, you better make a double batch!
