ANN's Notes:

I've been meaning to post these! My 4th of July fave.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

I could eat these sweet bites all year 'round! This recipe is super kid-friendly, so grab those little ones and mix up a batch of these classic all-American cookies. You'll be celebrating in no time.

Directions

In large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugars; beat in egg and vanilla.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt; stir into butter mixture, mixing well.

Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto greased baking sheets.

Bake in 350 oven 8-10 minutes, just until edges
are golden (centers will still be soft).

Remove to wire racks to cool.

.33 is 1/3 cup
.66 is 2/3 cup
.5 is 1/2 cup

well its just that i dont think anyone uses decimals its not common, never heard any cooks or chefs on tv say or use it, and never seen it on any recipes either. that is why the confusion it looks like a good recipe, we are wanting to try it, and don't want to use the wrong amounts
