Instructions: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the flour, sugar and baking soda. Add shortening and egg, using an electric mixer or kneading and scraping by hand until all of the flour has been worked in. The dough may seem too dry at first, but eventually it will become soft and pliable. Mix in the chips and roll the dough into a cylinder about 2 inches in diameter. Slice into cookies about 3/4 inch thick. Place on two ungreased baking sheets, 6 to a sheet, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until light brown on top.
