Satoki's Chocolate Chip Cookies

2/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
3 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 bag semi-sweet baking chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix together shortening, butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix with beater until creamy [aprox. 2 minutes]. Add baking soda and salt, then add flour, 1 cup at a time, beating with a spoon in between each cup. When all flour is added, add baking chips and mix with a spoon. Use ungreased or Pam w/Flour spray on baking sheets, and put 1 inch diameter balls of dough on sheets, aprox. 1-1.5 inches apart. Put in preheated oven for aprox 8-10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes, and every minute after, until around the middle of the tops are golden brown. Leave on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then remove and put on a cool baking sheet/plate.
Then eat!
