Default Shortening in Cookie question

I have been working on a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is perfect
for my family's taste. I came really close last night. The flavor
was spot on but the texture was off. I used 1 cup of butter and a 1/4
cup of shortening. I wanted the flavor of the butter but still a firm
cookie, so I was hoping that the shortening would be enough to do it
but alas, no. My question is, what do you all think of butter
flavored Crisco instead of a butter/shortening combo. Here is the
recipe that I have

3/4 cup dark/light brown sugar mixture plus two tbs dark
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 tbs vanilla
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 cup chips
1 1/4 cup walnuts
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/4 cups flour
