In a mixing bowl, beat shortening and butter with an electric mixer on med to high speed for 30 sec. Add half the flour, all the brown sugar, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and baking soda. Beat mixture til thoroughly combined. Beat in the remaining flour. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop dough by Tbsp 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 min or til edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Makes 3-4 dozen.
