Heidi's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are so many recipes here for chocolate chip cookies that i found myself going in circles to see if my exact recipe was posted. i know there isn't one here named heidi's favorte so here it is! This recipe is not cake like at all but is a soft cookie. it seems to use a larger amount of fat than others posted here and specifically calls for shortening.
