Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Monster 3 Chocolate Chip Cookie
This is my new favorite cookie recipe. They turned out lovely. Got this recipe from 'Paula's Home Cooking' on the Food Network. Enjoy!
2 cubes butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup white sugar
1 3/4 cup light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
12 ounces semi-sweet chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate chunks
1 cup toffee chips (I used the Heath chips)

Cream butter and shortening for a few minutes. Add sugars, eggs (one at a time) and vanilla. Blend well. Combine dry ingredients and add slowly to creamed mixture just until flour is moistened. Stir in chips. Using a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop place dough on cookie sheet (hence the "monster cookie). Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 12-14 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely
