3/4 cup all-vegetable shortening
1-1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 T milk
1 T vanilla
1 egg
1-3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips [of course, I had to use half dark- and half milk chocolate]
1 cup chopped pecans, optional
Cream together shortening, sugar, milk and vanilla. When blended thoroughly, add one egg. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda. Add slowly to the shortening mixture until just mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips and optional nuts with a spoon. Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet, about three inches apart. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes (for chewy cookies) or 11-13 minutes (for crisp cookies) each batch. Remove from baking sheet (with spatula) and cool on a wire rack. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
