    1/2 c  White sugar 
      1    Egg

  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Cream the butter and shortening, add the 
  sugars and beat until light and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla, mix well, 
  then add remaining ingredients (if you're using a mixer, stir in the last 
  four ingredients with a spoon).  Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on an 
  ungreased cookie sheet and bakd for about 10 minutes, or until golden 
  brown.  Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet.

  the dough you eat while you're dropping.
