These chocolate chip cookies are from No Greater Joy magazine.  They are yummy, makes a lot of cookies too!!  Beka is the lady who wrote
the article about selling these cookies to neighborhood business, and this
is the recipe she used.

Beka's Chocolate-chip Cookies (I dubbed them NGJ cookies!)
(makes 48-52 large cookies)

Cream together:
1 ½ cup softened butter
½ cup oil
1 ½ cup white sugar
1 ½ cup brown sugar

Add one at a time:
5 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon extract

Stir in:
2 level Tbsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups wheat flour
2 cups white flour (You can use all white if you prefer; I found that people
preferred the chewiness and flavor the wheat flour gave.)

Knead in:
12 -16 oz. package Semi-sweet Chocolate chips
1c chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts

Add more white flour, kneading it in until the dough is stiff like bread
dough, and the chips just begin to fall out as you knead.

Shape into golf-ball size balls, flatten slightly between palms, and lay the
thick disks on a cookie sheet to bake about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove from oven before they begin to brown. Cool on the sheet for about 5
minutes before removing. Cool completely on flat surface before storing them
in an airtight container (zip-lock type bags by the dozen or 2 dozen).
