Grammy's Chocolate Chip Cookies!

This is my grandmother's cookie recipe. She is much better at making them then I, but they are the best in the world.
This recipe makes I don't know how many cookies, around 5 dozen or so.
2 c. Shortening
2 C. Brown sugar
1 C. Sugar
4 Eggs
1 T. Vanilla
1 T. Milk
1 t. Baking soda
1 t. Salt
5 C. Flour
1 12 oz. Bag Chocolate Chips

Cream together shortening and sugars. Mix in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and milk. Mix dry ingredients together, then add gradually to sugar mixture. Stir in chocolate chips.
Bake in oven @ 350 degrees for 8 min.

Cookie dough ice cream

OK, this probably doesn't actually count as a recipe. Lately we've been addicted to cookie dough ice cream (especially the new Frosty's with cookie dough from Wendy's), but the budget doesn't allow for the frequent consumption we've been craving. The solution ... we make our own.

We tried just mixing actual cookie dough into ice cream, but the secret we've found is baking the cookies for half the time you're supposed to. This melts the chocolate chips into a deliciously gooey state and leaves you with ideal doughy cookies to break into pieces and mix into your ice cream.

We're whipping up new kinds of cookie dough every few days for this indulgence. Yummy.
