Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

Steps:

  • Combine butter, sugar, cream cheese, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Beat until light and fluffy. Add flour, beat until well mixed. Wrap in saran wrap and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
