• 1 cup butter
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 2 cups sugar (1 brown and 1 white works too)
• 4 eggs
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla
• 5 cups flour (I usually use 2 c whole wheat and 3 unbleached white)
• 1 Tbsp baking soda
• 1 cup aronia berries
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Mix butter, shortening and sugars.  Add eggs, vanilla and soda.  Mix in the flour.  Add the berries and chocolate chips.  Berries may be fresh or frozen and will tend to turn the cookies a swirly purple when mixed.   Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
