Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies ~ Crisco

3/4 c. Butter flavored Crisco
1 1/4 c. Firmly packed light brown sugar
2 T milk
1 T vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. coarsely chopped pecans (or 1/2 c. more chips if you rather not have nuts)

Heat oven to 375F.  Combine Crisco, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl.  Beat at medium speed until well blended.  Beat eggs into creamed mixture.

Combine flour, salt and baking soda.  Mix into creamed mixture just until blended.  Stir in chips and nuts.

Drop by rounded tablespoons full 3" apart on ungreased baking sheet.  Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes for chewy cookies or 11-13 min. for crispy cookies.  Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet; remove to wire rack to cool.

YIELD:  5.5 dozen

I use this same recipe for butterscotch chip or m&ms.
