Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies (Old Recipe)

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.
