In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugars, egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture and mix well. Divide dough in half.
On a greased baking sheet, shape each portion into a 15-in. x 3-in. rectangle about 3 in. apart.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over dough; press lightly.
Bake at 375° for 6-7 minutes. (Bake for 8-9 minutes for crispier cookies.) Cool for 5 minutes.
Use a pizza cutter to cut each section into 4 large pieces to make them easy to transfer to cooling racks.
Use a serrated knife to cut the cooled sections into 1-in. strips.
