Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies


Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies are the BEST chocolate chip cookies you will ever make.  I've been making this recipe for almost 40 years; that's how good it is!


Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

3/4 cup (3/4 stick) Butter Flavor Crisco 
1 1/4 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tbsp. milk
1 tbsp. vanilla
1 egg
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional)*

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Place sheets of foil on counter top for cooling cookies.  Combine Crisco, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla in large mixing bowl.  Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended.  Beat egg into creamed mixture.

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

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet.  Bake one baking sheet at a time at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes for chewy cookies or 11 to 13 minutes for crisp cookies.  Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet.  Remove cookies to foil to cool completely.  Yield:  about 36 cookies

*If nuts are omitted, add an additional 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Note:  Cookies are best eaten soon after baking.  For fresh-baked taste, remaining cookies (1-3 at a time) can be reheated in a microwave on high in 10-second increments until desired softness is achieved.
