Lightly coat two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.

In a bowl, mix together 2 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt with a fork.

In another bowl, add 1 cup of butter flavored shortening, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup of packed dark brown sugar.

Beat the mixture on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture until just blended.

Add in 2 cups of milk chocolate chips and fold into the batter.

Drop the dough by slightly rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly browned.

Let the baking sheets cool for about 5 minutes and then remove the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
