Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk well until fully combined, set aside.
In a large bowl, combine regular Crisco, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using a hand mixer (or stand mixer) beat on high speed for about 2 minutes. Ingredients should be fully incorporated.
Add eggs and vanilla extract, beat on low until just combined.
Add the dry ingredients all at once to the Crisco and sugar mixture. Beat on low until the flour is just combined.
Pour the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough, beat on low or hand mix until the chips are evenly dispersed throughout the cookie dough.
Drop dough (about 2 tablespoons of dough each) onto the prepared baking sheet. For best results, make sure the cookies are at least 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven when the edges of the cookie are golden brown and the center is a light brown color. Let cool on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes and then allow to come to room temperature on the cooling rack.
