1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Add beaten egg and vanilla, mix well. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Stir into creamed mixture; blend thoroughly. Fold in chocolate chips.
Drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheets. Bake in oven for 6-9 minutes, depending on size. Do not overbake. Cookies should be a little brown around the edges when taken out. Let cookies cool for a few minutes before removing from baking sheet. Finish cooling on rack.
