Amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies

Kaili makes these chocolate chip cookies all the time, and she is quickly becoming famous for them. It makes a lot. You may want to freeze half of the dough or even plan on giving a bunch of cookies away! You can freeze them after scooping the cookies onto a pan, then when they are frozen, place in Ziploc freezer bags. When baking frozen ones, I think you are supposed to lower the temperature to 325, but then bake them for 15-20 minutes.
1 cup shortening
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 Tbs. vanilla
5 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
4 cups chocolate chips
3 eggs, beaten
Cream the shortening, butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs. Then stir in the baking soda, salt, and flour. Stir in chocolate chips. Scoop onto cookie sheet using a large cookie scoop (about 1/4 cup size). Press down lightly on the cookie to flatten the very top. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.

I forgot to say that when we make these cookies, we usually only use 2 cups of chocolate chips (or one bag)
