In a large mixing bowl add oil, vanilla, sugar, syrup, and salt.  Mix well till smooth. Add in egg and mix well.  Add in flours and baking soda. Incorporate well. Fold in choc. chips.  Roll small balls with your hands or I use a small scooper and place 2 inches apart.  Flatten less than half way down.  (Sometimes I don't and they come out just fine.)  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges are nicely browned and crispy.  Let them rest for 5 minutes on the cookie sheets than transfer to a cooling rack.
