½ cup shortening

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup Holiday M&M's

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium large bowl combine shortening, margarine, sugar, brown sugar and cream together until well combined.

Mix in the chocolate chips and M&Ms.

Cook for 7-8 minutes or until the bottom is golden.

Notes

If you had to replace one or the other, I would recommend you replace the margarine with butter. The shortening is what is really going to make these cookies soft, and chewy, and give them the better taste.
