3/4 c  Butter Flavor Crisco
1 1/4 c  Firmly packed brown sugar
2 tb Milk
1 tb Vanilla
1    Egg
1 3/4 c  All-purpose flour
1 ts Salt
3/4 ts Baking soda
1 c  Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c  Coursely chopped pecans
-optional

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. 2. Combine Butter Flavor Crisco, brown sugar,
milk, and vanilla in large bowl. Bet at medium speed of electric mixer
until well blended. Beat in egg. 3. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda.
Mix into creamed mixture at low speed until just blended. Stir in chocolate
chips and nuts. 4. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 3 inches apart onto
ungreased baking sheet. 5. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes for
shewy cookies (they will look light and moist-do not overbake), 11 to 13
minutes for crisp cookies. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet. Remove to
cooling rack…if they get that far.
