Ingredients

2/3 cup vegetable shortening
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar white
1 cup brown sugar packed
2 large eggs
2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
3 1/4 cups flour, all-purpose
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Mix shortening, butter or margarine, sugars, eggs and vanilla thoroughly.

Stir in all purpose or unbleached flour, baking soda and salt.

Turn dough onto lightly floured board.

Shape dough into ball with lightly floured hands, pressing to make dough compact.

Cut dough in half.

Shape each half into a roll 2 inches in diameter and about 8 inches long by gently rolling dough back and forth on floured board.

Roll dough onto plastic wrap: wrap and twist ends tightly.

Dough can be refrigerated up to 1 month or frozen up to 3 months.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Cut roll into 1/4-inch slices. (It is not necessary to thaw frozen dough before slicing.)

Place slices about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 9 to 11 minutes.

Immediately remove cookies from baking sheet onto wire rack.
