  Who else besides hillary Clinton uses vegetable shortening in
  chocolate chip cookies? Thersa Monk and her 12-year-old daughter,
  Krystal, of Germantown, MD., for two.
  
  At least now. For years, the Monks used butter in their baking, but
  when they saw an opportunity to compete in the Crisco American Baking
  Celbration, they couldn't resist trying to concoct a recipe with
  butter flavored Crisco.
  
  The result: Chocolate Chip Macadamia Crunch Cookies, which won the
  national $500 prize in the chocolate chip cookie contest in late
  March.

  With an electric mixer, beat shortening, sugar, brown sugar, eggs,
  vanilla and buttermilk for 3-5 minutes until very light and fluffy.
  In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oatmeal, baking soda and salt. By
  hand, add the shortening mixture and stir well. Add chocolate chips
  and nuts and stir by hand.
  
  Refrigerate for at least a half hour until the dough is firm. Drop
  dough by the tablespoon, about 2" apart, onto a greased insulated
  cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 325'F. oven for 16-18 minutes until
  the cookies are a light golden brown.
  
  Cool cookies on baking sheet for a minute and then remove to cooling
  rack.
