How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 2–3 large baking sheets with cooking spray.
2. Step
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
3. Step
In a large bowl, combine the vegetable shortening, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed until creamy.
4. Step
Add the eggs and beat until light and fluffy.
5. Step
Gradually add the flour mixture and beat to incorporate. Mix in the oats.
6. Step
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
7. Step
Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, 12 cookies per pan.

Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden. Set the baking sheets on top of wire racks and cool for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies directly to the racks and let cool completely.
