In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.  In a large bowl, cream together shortening, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the vanilla and egg replacer and mix for 20 seconds.  Add the flour mixture slowly to the creamed batter, mixing just until it comes together.  Gently fold in the chocolate chips.  Use a cookie scoop or a teaspoon and drop onto cookie sheet.  Lightly press down.  Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.  Cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
