Ingredients

1 cup butter flavored shortening
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons Mexican vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 cookie sheets.
3 Cream together butter-flavored shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in vanilla.
4 Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually stir into creamed mixture.
5 Fold in chocolate chips until well combined.
