1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start by mixing the brown sugar and shortening with a fork until well mixed.
2.) Next, add the egg and a splash of vanilla and mix until it becomes fluffy. Note: to measure the one tablespoon of egg, crack the egg into a small bowl, beat, and then measure.
3.) Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar to the same bowl and mix with a fork or a rubber spatula until blended.
4.) Finally, stir in chocolate chips
5.) Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Cool on a rack for a few minutes and then enjoy!
