•2/3 cup butter

•2 eggs

•2 teaspoons vanilla

•2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Cream together sugars, shortening, and butter and then add the eggs and vanilla.  Stir to combine.  In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.  Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed.  Add up to 1 cup of flour or quick oats to reach desired consistency.  Stir in the chocolate chips until just combined.  Roll into 1 1/2" balls and place on ungreased baking sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes in 375 degree oven.  Do not overbake.  Allow cookies to sit on pan for 1 minute before removing to cooling rack.
