    Preheat oven to 375. FOR BASIC OR THIN COOKIES: in a bowl beat shortening and/or butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda and salt; beat until combined. Beat in egg or eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with a mixer. With a wooden spoon, stir in remaining flour. (Typists notes: If you use the bread beaters on your electric mixer, you can skip the wooden spoon.) Stir in chocolate pieces and nuts. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake Basic cookies 8-10 minutes, and Thin cookies 10-12 minutes or until edges are browned. Cool on wire rack. Makes 60 cookies.

    FOR CAKELIKE COOKIES: in a bowl, beat shortening and brown sugar on medium to high speed until combined. Add eggs and vanilla; bean until combined.

With a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate pieces and nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are browned. Cool on wire rack.
