Chocolate chip cookie bars

   
1/3 c. shortening
1/3 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips

Mix shortening, butter, sugars, egg and vanilla thoroughly. Mix flour, soda and salt; blend in thoroughly. Add nuts and chocolate chips. Spread dough evenly in 9 1/2 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Makes 24 (2 inch) bars.

**This is also a good way to use up the partial bags of chips. Which is what I did. :)
