2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. salt

Cream together the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and shortening. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Combine flour, salt and soda and beat into first mixture. Add remaining ingredients and knead into first mixture. Drop by heaping teaspoons, 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheet.

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven about 8 minutes or until cookies are nicely browned. Let cookies cool on baking sheet about one minute before removing to rack to cool. Store in airtight container. Makes 7 dozen irresistible cookies. For best results, shape dough into rolls, wrap and chill several hours; then slice and bake as above.
