1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 3/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Lightly grease baking sheets.

With an electric mixer, beat butter and shortening at medium speed until creamy; gradually
add sugars, beating until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to butter mixture,
beating until blended. Stir in chocolate morsels and almond brickle chips. Drop cookies by
