Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar and vanilla with spoon. Stir in flour. (If dough is crumbly, mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened.)
