Directions
Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃) (190C).
Cream shortening and brown sugar in large light.
Add egg, milk and vanilla, beating 1 minute, or until thoroughly.
Combine flour, salt and baking soda.
Add to creamed mixture gradually, beating on low speed 1 minute, or just until blended.
Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips and pecans.
Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls (2 tsp./ 30 mL) on ungreased baking sheet leaving about 7 cm (3 inches) between cookies.
Bake at 375℉ (190℃) (190C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
Cookies will still appear moist when baked.
Cool 2 minutes, then remove to cooling rack.
If desired, omit pecans and use additional ½ cup (125 mL) of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Bakers Tip:
For a moister batter, add 1 tablespoon. (15 mL) of water.
Follow cooking time carefully. Do not overbake.
Makes: 3 dozen.
