With a mixer or a wooden spoon, mix together shortening, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
Once the batter is smooth and silky looking, add in the baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix well.
Lastly, by hand mix in the chocolate chips and the sprinkles.
Chill the dough in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes. I return the dough to the fridge between batches to keep it cool, but that is optional.
While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a baking stone in the oven as it preheats.
Once the oven and baking stone are preheated, using a medium cookie dough scoop, drop the cookies a couple inches apart onto the baking stone. Do not press flat. Just leave them as dough balls. They will flatten out somewhat as they bake.
Bake for 13-14 minutes or until golden brown.
Immediately remove from the baking stone to cool.
Store in an airtight container if you have some left. They freeze well too.
