Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; set aside. 

Beat butter and shortening in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat on medium for 2 minutes scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much flour mixture as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour mixture, then add chocolate chips.

You can substitute Hy-Vee Select 100% maple syrup or Hy-Vee honey for the granulated and brown sugars. use 1-1/2 cups of the liquid sweetener but omit the shortening and increase baking soda to 1-1/2 teaspoons and all-purpose flour to 3 cups.

Drop cookie scoops, about 1-1/2 tablespoons, of dough 2-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool cookies on a wire cooling rack.
