Directions:Preheat oven to 325º.
Cream together the shortening, butter, sugars, egg and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Mix in the milk.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and then add the chocolate chips.
Measure 1 teaspoon of dough and roll it into a ball with your hands. Press the ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet until it is about half the thickness it was as a ball. Repeat until the baking sheet is full, then bake cookies for 16-18 minutes, or until the cookies are light brown and crispy. Continue making batches of cookies with the remaining dough. |

Notes: The story behind the cookie ... Before Wally Amos shared his soon-to-be-famous homemade chocolate chip cookies with the world, he landed a job in the mail room at the William Morris talent agency and soon became the agency's first African American talent agent. Wally's unique approach of sending performers boxes of homemade chocolate chip cookies that he developed from his aunt's secret recipe eventually helped him get Diana Ross and the Supremes as clients. After perfecting his cookie recipe in 1975, Wally launched his own cookie company and, solely from word of mouth, his baking business boomed. Today there are several flavors of Famous Amos Cookies, including oatmeal chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and peanut butter; but it is the plan chocolate chip cookies that are the most popular. The clone here will give you 100 little chocolate chip cookies just like the originals that are crunchy and small enough to dunk into a cold glass of moo juice.
