Grandma Nulph's Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cube butter (1/2 cup) (don't melt)

1 1/2 c shortening

1 1/2 c sugar

1 1/2 c brown sugar

4 eggs

2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp vanilla (Watkins is the best)

1 tsp water

4 1/2 c flour

Pkg of chocolate chips

Walnuts (opt)

Cream butter, shortening and sugars. Add eggs and mix one at a time.  Mix in dry ingredients.  Add water. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake @ 350 for 10 to 20 min. 

They cook perfectly in my oven for 11 min. But at the cabin it was 10.
